AI-Summary

What this Trial Is About

This phase IV trial studies how well serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy works in predicting radiation-induced changes in the normal tissue of patients with oral cavity or skull base tumors. Performing MRIs after radiation therapy for patients with oral cavity or skull base tumors may help to predict osteoradionecrosis (a change in non-cancerous tissue).

Eligibility Criteria

Eligible

You may qualify if you...

  • Patients older than 18 years of age
  • Patients with good performance status (ECOG score 0-2)
  • Patients willing to give written informed consent
  • Patients with histologically proven malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity, oropharynx or skull base (Cohort 1)
  • Patients currently planned for treatment with radiotherapy and/or antiresorptive or antiangiogenic medication therapy (Cohort 1)
  • Patients with a clinical diagnosis of osteoradionecrosis or medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw following cancer treatment (Cohort 2)
  • Patients previously planned for treatment with radiotherapy and/or antiresorptive or antiangiogenic medication therapy (Cohort 2)
Not Eligible

You will not qualify if you...

  • Patients unable to tolerate diffusion-weighted or dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI or with an estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 30 ml/min/1.73m2
  • Patients with contraindications to MRI, such as non-MRI compatible metallic implants
