Background JCOG1015A1 is an ancillary research study to determine the organ-specific
dose constraints in head and neck carcinoma treated with intensity-modulated radiation …

This study is to investigate the dose distribution of organs at risk (OARs) in cases of
nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). From July 2013 to October 2014, a prospective cohort …

Background and purpose A comprehensive individual toxicity risk profile is needed to
improve radiation treatment optimisation, minimising toxicity burden, in head and neck …

We assessed the effect of geometric uncertainties on target coverage and on dose to the
organs at risk (OARS) during intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head-and-neck …

Background Patients treated with radiotherapy are at risk of developing a second cancer
during their lifetime, which can directly impact treatment decision-making and patient …

Purposes To generate a nomogram to predict parotid gland (PG) overdose and to quantify
the dosimetric benefit of weekly replanning based on its findings, in the context of intensity …

Head and neck cancer poses a particular challenge in radiation therapy, whilst being an
effective treatment modality it requires very high doses of radiation to provide effective …

Purpose This study aimed to improve the understanding of deviations between planned and
accumulated doses and to establish metrics to predict clinically significant dosimetric …

Constraint definitions in intensity modulated radiation therapy is a key point factor during the
treatment planning process. In literature some data are available about dose constraints and …

AIMS: There is considerable controversy surrounding target volume definition for parotid-
sparing intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer. The aim of this …
