Background and purpose Different planning protocols may define varying planning target
volume (PTV) dose criteria. We investigated the hypothesis that this could result in …

Background This study was designed to comparatively assess laryngeal function and quality
of life (QOL) of patients after laser surgery (LS) or radiotherapy (RT) for early glottic cancer …

Background: Cervical lymph nodes metastases are one of the most significant prognostic
factors in patients with laryngeal carcinoma, whether treatment by surgery or by …

Purpose: This study was performed to find out the prognostic factors affecting local control in
early glottic cancer treated with radiation therapy alone. Materials and Methods: We …

Purpose: The current research compared radiobiological and dosimetric results for
simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) plans employing RapidArc and IMRT planning …

Background and purpose A significant interobserver variability (IOV) for clinical target
volume of the primary tumor (CTVp) delineation was shown in a previous national review …

Background. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy, as well as the acute and late
toxicity of an accelerated hypofractionated 3DCRT schedule as radical treatment in patients …

PURPOSE: To investigate the dosimetry and feasibility of carotid-sparing intensity-
modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for early glottic cancer and to report preliminary clinical …

Introduction One of the goals of Quality Assurance in Radiotherapy (QART) is to reduce the
variability and uncertainties related to treatment planning and beam delivery. The purpose of …

Purpose To clarify the dose distribution characteristics for early-stage glottic cancer by
comparing the dose distribution between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and …
