Timeframe: at 50 Gy (about 5 weeks)

Population: For evaluations with the QLQ-C30 questionnaire, data of 19 patients (3 in Arm A, 16 in Arm B) were available, and for evaluations with the QLQ-H\&N35 questionnaire, data of 18 patients (3 in Arm A, 15 in Arm B).

Quality of Life was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-H\&N35 questionnaires. For QLQ-C30, scoring of global health status and functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, social functioning) were assessed. Scores ranged from 0 to 100. A higher score represented a higher level of quality of life (global health status) and a higher level of functioning (functional scales). For QLQ-H\&N35, symptom scales (pain, problems with swallowing, senses problems, speech problems, trouble with social eating, trouble with social contact) were assessed Scores ranged from 0 to 100. A higher score represented a higher level of symptomatology/problems. For both questionnaires (QLQ-C30 and QLQ-H\&N35), the change between baseline and follow up at 50 Gy for each item was calculated by using the mean value of the differences between both time points of the evaluable patients.
