A Phase II Study of Parotid-gland Sparing IMRT in Patients With Midline Tumour of the Head and Neck (PARSPORT-II)

May 26, 2014 updated by: Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust

A Phase II Study of Parotid-gland Sparing Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy in Patients With Midline Tumour of the Head and Neck

This study is a phase II trial designed to test the feasibility of delivering IMRT to head and neck cancer patients with tumours arising in the midline (oropharynx and hypopharynx), and to assess possible improvement in reducing the incidence of xerostomia with bilateral superficial lobe parotid sparing IMRT.
