Summary
This study was designed to see if using MRI scans to guide radiation therapy can better protect the salivary ducts and reduce dry mouth in people with oropharynx cancer. Dry mouth is a common and lasting side effect of radiation. The plan was to compare patient-reported dry mouth symptoms between standard radiation and MRI-guided radiation. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants.
