Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The feasibility of the adaptive radiotherapy schedule will be rejected in case of: - Occurrence of intolerable radiation-induced acute toxicities. - The inability to implement 80% of the adaptive treatment plans within 2 days from the intended starting day (day 13 and day 23 of treatment). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To examine the toxicity of the adaptive radiotherapy scheme according to the CTCAE v4.0 scoring system The locoregional tumor control The mean value of the different imaging modalities within the tumor will be measured at baseline and during week 2 and 4. Using these, the relative response will be calculated for the following modalities: - FDG-PET: decrease of the SUV-value | — |
