IMRT in Hypopharyngeal Tumors [PDF]

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, 2006
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) data on hypopharyngeal cancer (HC) are scant. In this study, the authors report on early results in an own HC patient cohort treated with IMRT. A more favorable outcome as compared to historical data on conventional radiation techniques was expected.29 consecutive HC patients were treated with simultaneous ...
