Brief Title: Proton Boost for Locally Advanced HEAD AND NECK TUMORS
Official Title: Phase II Clinical Study on Proton Therapy Boost (Hadrontherapy) for Locally Advanced HEAD AND NECK TUMORS
Study ID: NCT03183271
Brief Summary: The aim of this research project is to test the local response and the acute toxicity (which can be observed within 90 days).
Detailed Description: Local response and acute toxicity are primary endpoints of the trial. At CNAO a proton boost is delivered on the PTV1rx (area at high risk of relapse) up to at least 70 Gy \[RBE\] in 2-3 Gy \[RBE\] per fractions for 8-15 total fractions. PTV2 rx (area at low or intermediate risk of relapse) will be irradiated with photon IMRT up to a total dose of 50-60 Gy \[RBE\]. Secondary endpoints of the trial are local control, relapse free survival, overall survival, tumor specific survival, intermediate and long term toxicity.
