This prospective, basic science, observational study will evaluate for changes in CRF associated with molecular characteristics prior to, during, and at the completion of non-investigational, standard-of-care, combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy (CCRT) and to develop and assess predictive models for CRF severity.
