Advantages of using reduced-volume intensity modulated radiation therapy for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a retrospective paired study

BMC Cancer, 2019
Background The definition of clinical target volume (CTV) in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not been addressed. We performed this study to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using IMRT with reduced-

Sex Differences in Health‐Related Quality of Life in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer—A Prospective Study

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To analyse sex differences in health‐related quality of life (HRQL) before, during and up to 3 months posttreatment of head and neck cancer, and to examine the importance of salivary secretion rate for HRQL posttreatment. Methods Patients were recruited before starting curative oncologic treatment.

Optimizing laryngeal sparing with intensity modulated radiotherapy or volumetric modulated arc therapy for unilateral tonsil cancer

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2019
Background and purpose: Minimizing radiation dose exposure to nearby organs is key to limiting clinical toxicities associated with radiotherapy. Several treatment modalities such as split- or whole-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SF-IMRT, WF-IMRT)

Beam Orientation Optimization for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy using Adaptive l1 Minimization

, 2011
Beam orientation optimization (BOO) is a key component in the process of IMRT treatment planning. It determines to what degree one can achieve a good treatment plan quality in the subsequent plan optimization process.
