The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of intensity-modulated radiation therapy
(IMRT) on the incidence and severity of chronic dysphagia in patients with head and neck …

Background To evaluate the objective and subjective long term swallowing function, and to
relate dysphagia to the radiation dose delivered to the critical anatomical structures in head …

PURPOSE: Intensification of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for head-and-neck cancer may
lead to increased rates of dysphagia. Dosimetric predictors of objective findings of long-term …

Purpose: To present initial results of a clinical trial of intensity-modulated radiotherapy
(IMRT) aiming to spare the swallowing structures whose dysfunction after chemoradiation is …

Background. Dysphagia is a common and debilitating side effect in head and neck
radiotherapy (RT). Prognostic factors are numerous and their interrelationship not well …

PURPOSE: Dysphagia is a major late complication of intensive chemoradiotherapy of head
and neck cancer. The initial clinical results of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), or …

PURPOSE: The use of altered fractionation radiotherapy (RT) regimens, as well as
concomitant chemotherapy and RT, to intensify therapy for locally advanced head-and-neck …

6508 Background: Most newly diagnosed oro-& hypopharngeal cancers (OPC, HPC) are
treated with (chemo) RT with curative intent but at the consequence of adverse effects on …

Purpose To investigate the association between dose to various anatomical structures and
dysphagia among patients with head and neck cancer treated by definitive intensity …

Background and purpose A randomized trial was initiated to investigate whether a reduction
of the dose to the elective nodal sites and the swallowing apparatus delivered by IMRT …
