What this study is about
This trial is testing whether using MRI sialography to spare parotid ducts during radiation therapy reduces dry mouth symptoms in patients with head and neck cancer. It compares this approach to the standard method of sparing the entire parotid gland, focusing on how much dry mouth patients report after treatment.
Simplified from trial records by PatientMatch.
