Protocol: STUDY00004000
Full Title
Prospective Longitudinal Study of Radiation Induced Carotid Artery Stenosis in Head amp; Neck Cancer Patients Receiving Unilateral Neck Radiation
Description
This study enrolls people who have been diagnosed with head and neck cancer and are being treated with neck radiation therapy. The purpose of this study is to find out the number of people who develop narrowing of their carotid arteries (Carotid Artery Stenosis) due to neck radiation and understand how tobacco use and diabetes effect the worsening of carotid artery stenosis.

This study will be a total of 4 visits which include a blood sample and an ultrasound of your carotid arteries. An ultrasound is a noninvasive, nonpainful, and no-radiation way to get an image of the bloodflow in your arteries. The first visit will be approximately 45 minutes and the 3 follow up visits at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years will be approximately 25-35 minutes. This study will take place in clinic rooms at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, NY.
