Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the correlation between the dose-volume parameters of the muscles of mastication, temporo- mandibular joint and the degree of trismus developed post radiotherapy in post-operative buccal mucosa cancers.Timepoint: to be assessed 1 month and 3 months Post radiation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Acute toxicities as per RTOG criteria to be assessed 1 month and 3 months Post RT. 2. Assessment of dose received by back of neck and subcutaneous tissue toxicity grading as per RTOG at 3 months, 6 months and 1-year Post-RT.Timepoint: to be assessed 1 month and 3 months Post RT.
