Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Post IMRT

Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto

Summary

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of head and neck cancer. The last three decades of research in head and neck radiation oncology have largely focused on improvements in survival, which have mostly come at the cost of long term toxicity for surviving patients. This is an observational study that is being done to learn about the long-term symptoms and side effects that survivors of nasopharyngeal cancer may have following radiation treatment. This study will include assessment of patient report outcomes, physician-graded adverse events, neurocognitive assessment and endocrine and hearing testing

Official title: A Comprehensive Prospective Cross Sectional Study on the Late Effects of Radical Chemoradiotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients Treated in the Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy Era
