Clinical Trial Summary

Comparison of patients with operable, recurrent previously-irradiated squamous cell head-and-neck cancers with or without adjuvant SBRT.


Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to determine prognostic factors that may predict the likelihood of local failure, regional failure, to guide future management, to compare the impact of adjuvant SBRT versus a wait-and-see approach on patient reported quality of life (PR-QoL), and to compare surgical versus SBRT-induced immunological serum markers in relation to local control. Recruitment includes patients with recurrent or second-primary head-and-neck squamous cell carcinomas within a previously-irradiated field with high-risk features compromised/positive surgical margins or extra-nodal extension) following macroscopic complete (R0/R1) salvage surgery. Participants receive Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy at the following levels: Treatment Volumes <25cc will receive 40Gy (5 fractions of 8Gy per fraction) or treatment Volumes ≥25cc will receive 44-50Gy (5 fractions of 8.8-10Gy per fraction). Ideally all tumors volumes ≥25cc will receive 50Gy over 5 fractions, however at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist based on tumor bed volume, prior radiation dose, and proximity to critical organs the dose can be reduced to 44Gy over 5 fractions as outlined in prior SBRT protocols. Evaluations to compare the efficacy of adjuvant SBRT versus wait-and-see, include Local Control, Regional and distant control, Progression-free survival, Overall survival and Patient-Reported Quality-of-Life (PR-QoL). Evaluations conducted to assess the safety of adjuvant SBRT following salvage surgery include recording of all toxicity data per National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria Events Scale version 4.0 and prospectively administering the previously-validated University of Washington Quality-of-Life-Revised (UW-QoL-R) questionnaire measuring patient-reported quality-of-life (PR-QoL). ;
