MRI scans aim to spot jaw damage risk before it starts
NCT ID NCT03145077
Summary
This study is testing whether a special type of MRI scan can help doctors predict which head and neck cancer patients might develop serious jawbone damage (osteoradionecrosis) as a side effect of their radiation treatment. Researchers will follow 1,400 patients, taking MRI scans before, during, and for years after their radiation therapy to look for early warning signs. The goal is to create a better tool for early detection so that future problems can be prevented or managed sooner.
