ART-ORL: Protocole Advanced RadioTherapy ORL
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to do health economic evaluation of tomotherapy and dynamic arctherapy (2 techniques exist: RapidArc and Vmat).
This study evaluate also local disease control after 18 months in patients with an ENT epidermoid carcinoma and treated by tomotherapy orarctherapy .
The number of patients required in this study is: 300:
-
Number of patients treated with tomotherapy: 120
-
Number of patients treated with dynamic arctherapy RapidArc: 120
-
Number of patients treated with dynamic arctherapy Vmat: 60
This is a prospective; multicentric and non randomized study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The various of cost between tomotherapy and Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT) [18 months]
The purpose of this study is to realise a Health economic evaluation of the various cost between tomotherapy and Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The economic impact of the learning curve of the tomotherapy process, the operating procedures and the activity of the centres [18 months]
To estimate the economic impact of the learning curve of the tomotherapy process, the operating procedures and the activity of the centres
- To determine the difference of cost for the preparation phase and the irradiation phase of the radiotherapy procedure [18 months]
One of the secondary objectives for the economic evaluation is to individualize the difference of cost for the preparation phase and the irradiation phase of the radiotherapy procedure
- The salivary toxicity [at 6; 12 and 18 months post treatment]
The salivary function will be assessed at baeline; 6; 12 and 18 months post treatment. This evaluation will be done with differents scale (RTOG, EVA); and with salivary scan.
- To determine the rate of disease local control [Baseline, Month 6; Month 18]
Assement of disease by clinical exam and/or imaging.
