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 …

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 …

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in head and neck cancer allows sculpting of
radiation dose to conform closely to target volumes and spare organs at risk. However, this …

Performing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on head and neck cancer patients
(HNCPs) requires robust training and experience. Thus, in 2011, the Head and Neck Cancer …

PURPOSE: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has the potential to shorten treatment
times for fluence modulated radiotherapy. We compared dose distributions of VMAT, step …

Target volume selection and delineation for both the primary tumor and the lymph nodes are
critical steps in the treatment of head and neck tumors with Intensity Modulated Radiation …

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

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 …

To quantify clinical differences for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) versus intensity
modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in terms of dosimetric endpoints and planning and …

The use of intensity-modulated radiation (IMRT) for the treatment of head and neck cancers
is less than a decade old, and long-term clinical results both with regards to tumor outcome …
