Brief Summary
The study aims to retrospectively, and anonymously analyse the data of patients treated over a period of 12 months. These are the patients whose radiotherapy plan were needed to be reviewed in the weekly on-treatment head and neck multi-professional radiotherapy meeting during the course of their radiation. Collected clinical data will be included in the retrospective analysis, comparing the clinical decision (gold standard of care), against the predictive capability of intelligence software

Measurement of distance between 2 volumes
1 year
PTV margins compared against the departmental standards
Proportion of clinical tumour volume covered by different radiotherapy set up margins 3, 4 and 5mm
1 year
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Potential time saved recontouring with software and the associated cost of re-planning adaptive radiotherapy
1 year
Evaluation of clinical decision on total radiotherapy re-plan
1 year
Study Arms (2)
A
Minimum of 12 patients who required total radiotherapy replan
B
Minimum of 28 patients who were reviewed in the multi-professional meeting but did not require full replan
Eligibility Criteria
Minimum of 12 patients who required total radiotherapy replan (Cohort A) Minimum of 28 patients who were reviewed in the multi-professional meeting but did not require full replan (Cohort B) Minimum of 40 patients in total (Cohorts A\&B).
You may qualify if:
- i. Head and neck cancer patients who require new mask for radiotherapy replanning will be included (Cohort A). These patients typically are ones with rapid shrinkage of the nodal disease, or whose weight change is notable (5 - 10% of baseline) in the first 2 weeks of radiotherapy ii. Patients on close observation of the head and neck multi-professional team but whose radiotherapy did no undergo total replan treatment will be included (Cohort B)
You may not qualify if:
- i. Patients whose primary malignancy is not of head and neck origin ii. Patients who specifically opt against their information be used anonymously iii. Head and neck cancer patients whose radiotherapy plans did not require review in the head and neck multi-professional radiotherapy meeting iv. Patients under the age of 18
