Radiotherapy for head and neck tumours in 2012 and beyond: conformal, tailored, and adaptive?
Abstract
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a conformal irradiation technique that enables steep dose gradients. In head and neck tumours this approach spares parotid-gland function without compromise to treatment efficacy. Anatomical and molecular imaging modalities may be used to tailor treatment by enabling proper selection and delineation of target volumes and organs at risk, which in turn lead to dose prescriptions that take into...
