Stereotactic reirradiation in the treatment of head and neck cancers: A retrospective study on the long-term experience of the Oscar Lambret Center
Throughout their oncologic history, approximately 80% of patients with head and neck (H&N) cancer undergo radiation therapy [1]. However, 50% of treated patients develop recurrent/secondary cancer. Thus, the H&N cancer-related death rate is approximately 60%; and over 40% of these result from locoregional progression [2].
