Brief Title: Uniform FDG-PET Guided Gradient Dose Prescription to Reduce Late Radiation Toxicity
Official Title: Uniform FDG-PET Guided GRAdient Dose prEscription to Reduce Late Radiation Toxicity (UPGRADE-RT): a Randomised Controlled Trial With Dose Reduction to the Elective Neck in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT02442375
Brief Summary: The objective of the UPGRADE-RT trial is to investigate whether de-escalation of elective radiation dose and introduction of an intermediate dose-level in the treatment of head and neck cancer will results in less radiation sequelae and improved quality of life after treatment whilst the recurrence rate in electively irradiated lymph nodes should not be compromised.
