Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the magnitude of clinical benefit achieved through machine learning assisted radiation treatment planning (MLAP) on post-treatment clinical outcomes such as acute toxicity and patient reported outcomes.

Conditions

  • Cancer Head Neck
  • Cancer, Head
  • Cancer Neck

Interventions

RADIATION

Machine Learning Assisted Radiation (MLAP) RapidPlan

Radiation therapy simulation, target delineation, dosing, localization, and follow-up will be followed per standard of care practices and/or at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist. To elaborate, patients will receive a treatment planning CT (computed tomography) scan, followed by normal tissue delineation through the physician and/or medical dosimetry assistant, followed by target delineation by the physician, followed by radiation treatment planning with the dosimetrist and medical physicist. The preliminary plan will be run through the RapidPlan module, which will give a list of possible improvements to the plan. The dosimetrist will then make an amendment to the plan according to RapidPlan suggestions, followed by plan change requests and approval by the physician.

RADIATION

Radiation Therapy Standard of Care (SOC)

Radiation therapy simulation, target delineation, dosing, localization, and follow-up will be followed per standard of care practices and/or at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist. To elaborate, patients will receive a treatment planning CT (computed tomography) scan, followed by normal tissue delineation through the physician and/or medical dosimetry assistant, followed by target delineation by the physician, followed by radiation treatment planning with the dosimetrist and medical physicist, followed by plan change requests and approval by the physician.
