Official Title: Evaluation of Radiobiological Effects in Skin Toxicities for Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy
Brief Summary:
This purpose of this study is to examine skin reactions (called radiation dermatitis) that occur during pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy.The researchers will test a unique technique called "Spot Delete" to see if it can reduce skin reactions for head & neck patients treated with PBS.They will also use a special computer model to study how the energy of the proton beam (linear energy transfer) is related to these skin reactions.The study involves creating a treatment plan based on a CT scan,…
