BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this large multicentre prospective cohort
study was to identify which dose volume histogram parameters and pre-treatment factors are
most important to predict physician-rated and patient-rated radiation-induced swallowing
dysfunction (RISD) in order to develop predictive models for RISD after curative (chemo)
radiotherapy ((CH) RT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study population consisted of 354
consecutive head and neck cancer patients treated with (CH) RT. The primary endpoint was …
