ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00188175

Purpose

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy may make wound healing problems less likely by 1)precisely shaping the region of high radiation dose to the shape of the tissue which harbours tumour cells, and 2) precisely shaping the regions of low radiation dose to the shapes of the normal tissues which are more sensitive to radiation effects.
