Measure
Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT)
Temporally feathered radiation therapy is designed for targets within close proximity to multiple organs at risk. The foundation of this planning technique is the rotation of radiation dose to the nearby organs at risk on a daily basis, and hence the term "feathering". Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT): Up to 5 different plans are created and delivered on a daily basis Monday-Friday for 7 weeks. The treating physician designates up to 5 organs at risk (OARs) to be feathered based on the proximity to the target. The daily prescription dose delivered to the Planning Target Volumes (PTV) is not changed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At weeks 1, 4, and 7 of treatment and at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 3 months post-treatment

Population: No participant were analyzed for quality of life questionnaires as there was an error in obtaining this data. A trial deviation was filed for this error.
