Conditions

"head and neck cancer" "head and neck tumor"

Interventions

The patients in this study receive the standard radiation treatment, using online setup with a CBCT. * In contrast to the current setup in a 5-point thermoplastic mask, patients are positioned usi

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • The therapy consists of head and neck cancer irradiation, with a curative intention or high dose palliation. • The patient is motivated and willing to be involved in a maskless treatment, using surface scanning for motion monitoring. • The patient is able to understand the instructions of the radiation technologist.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • The patient does not understand the instructions to lie still • The patient is not able to lie still due to, e.g., Parkinson*s disease
