This trial is collecting detailed information from head and neck cancer patients who are receiving radiation therapy (either alone or combined with chemotherapy) to create personalized prediction tools. Researchers want to understand which factors — including patient characteristics, tumor features, blood markers, and imaging — can best predict how well the radiation will work and what side effects you might experience.
Right now, doctors use general guidelines to predict treatment outcomes, but these don't account for important differences between individual patients. This study aims to develop more accurate, personalized prediction tools so your doctor can better forecast your specific chances of success and help you prepare for potential side effects.

You would continue your regular radiation therapy appointments and allow researchers to collect your medical records, imaging scans, and blood samples before, during, and after your treatment. Researchers will also track your treatment response, any side effects you experience, and your quality of life over time. The study involves no additional treatments — it simply gathers information from your standard cancer care to help build these prediction models.
