Brief summary
This study evaluates the effect of FDG-PET/CT for Simulation and Radiation Treatment Planning in oral Cancer patients. Progress-free survival (PFS) will be compared with historical control as defined in the protocol
Detailed description
Radiotherapy improves local control and overall survival for oral cavity cancer patients after surgery. However, limited locoregional control remains a key issue in the management of oral cavity carcinomas. Appropriate target selection is a key issue in the radiotherapy of oral cavity cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the locoregional control in PET/CT based radiotherapy treatment planning in the treatment of oral cancer
Interventions
pet/ct is used as radiotherapy simulation
