This phase IV trial studies how well serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy works in predicting radiation-induced changes in the normal tissue of patients with oral cavity or skull base tumors. Performing MRIs after radiation therapy for patients with oral cavity or skull base tumors may help to predict osteoradionecrosis (a change in non-cancerous tissue).
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Demonstrate the feasibility of serial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging biomarkers for assessment of early, intermediate, and late radiotherapy-attributable physiologic alteration of tumor and normal tissues and the kinetics thereof. II. Develop MR-biomarker inclusive predictive models for development of radiotherapy-attributable normal tissue injury. III. Define dose-response relationships between imaging biomarkers and subsequent radiation-induced effects. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. COHORT I: Patients may receive a contrast agent intravenously…
Inclusion Criteria: All Cohorts: * Patients older than 18 years of age * Patients with good performance status (ECOG score 0-2) * Patients willing to give written informed consent. Cohort 1 (Individuals without ORN or MRONJ): * Patients with histologically proven malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity, oropharynx or skull base. * Patients currently dispositioned to treatment with radiotherapy and/or antiresorptive or antiangiogenic medication therapy Cohort 2 (Individuals with ORN or MRONJ): * Patients with a clinical diagnosis of ORN or MRONJ following treatment for cancer * Patients pr…
