Effect of FDG-PET/CT for Simulation and Radiation Treatment Planning in Oral Cancer Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the effect of FDG-PET/CT for Simulation and Radiation Treatment Planning in oral Cancer patients. Progress-free survival (PFS) will be compared with historical control as defined in the protocol

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Radiotherapy improves local control and overall survival for oral cavity cancer patients after surgery. However, limited locoregional control remains a key issue in the management of oral cavity carcinomas. Appropriate target selection is a key issue in the radiotherapy of oral cavity cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the locoregional control in PET/CT based radiotherapy treatment planning in the treatment of oral cancer
