BACKGROUND: An unexpected finding from the phase III parotid sparing radiotherapy trial,
PARSPORT (ISRCTN48243537, CRUK/03/005), was a statistically significant increase in …

Purpose Although fatigue is a known side effect in patients with head and neck cancer
(HNC) receiving radiation therapy, knowledge regarding long-term fatigue and dose …

Background and purpose Radiation (RT) dose to the central nervous system (CNS) has
been implicated as a contributor to treatment-related fatigue in head and neck cancer (HNC) …

Background and purpose Fatigue during head and neck radiotherapy may be related to
radiation dose to the central nervous system (CNS). The impact of patient, tumour, and …

Abstract Learning Objectives After completing this course, the reader will be able to: Discuss
the incidence of cancer-related fatigue and the impact it has on cancer patients. Evaluate …

Purpose: Fatigue is an underevaluated cancer-related and treatment-related symptom. We
analyzed fatigue in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT). Methods …

Purpose To explore for fatigue-related regions and the radiotherapy (RT) dose-fatigue
relationship in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) survivors. Methods Eighty disease-free NPC …

PURPOSE: To compare parotid gland dose–volume response relationships in a large cohort
of patients treated with intensity-modulated (IMRT) and conventional radiotherapy (CRT) …

Background Xerostomia is the most common late side-effect of radiotherapy to the head and
neck. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) …

Purpose: The accuracy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) delivery may be
compromised by random spatial error and systematic anatomic changes during the …
