This study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of using MR-guided adaptive Head and Neck stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) at each fraction on the 1.5T MR-Linac.
At the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre (OCC), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) (35- 50 Gy in 5 fractions delivered 2x/week) has been employed in a subgroup of palliative Head and Neck cancer (HNC) patients, as part of an institutional protocol, when greater tumor response is desirable when compared to more palliative regimens.
The MR-Linac has been approved by Health Canada for radiation treatment. With superior soft tissue contrast and the possibility for daily plan adaptation, it allows for higher treatment precision delivery, improved target coverage and greater normal tissue sparing.
As a first step, this study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of using the 1.5T MR-Linac on patients with HNC who are treated with SBRT.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head and neck cancer | Experimental | In this arm patients with head and neck cancers treated with SBRT are recruited. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT on the MR-Linac | Radiation | Radiotherapy is performed on the 1.5 T MR Linac |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of patients who complete ≥80% of treatment fractions in ≤60 minutes. | Clinical feasibility of delivering radiotherapy treatment on the MR Linac within 60 minutes and the need for patients to transfer to a CT-based linear accelerator will be monitored. The radiotherapy timing sheet will be used to record the length of time for patients to have their MR guided adaptive radiotherapy for each fraction. | 2 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Dosimetric outcomes in HN SBRT patients treated with MR-guided adaptation as compared to non-adaptive HN SBRT. | Prospectively recorded OAR dose, cumulative GTV/PTV dose, and projected dose that would have been delivered by non-adaptive plans. | 2 years |
| Number of participants with Acute and Late Toxicity |

Acute toxicity (during and up to 3 months from the end of treatment) and late toxicity (after 3 months) secondary to SBRT will be graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0) scale. |
