Biological dose-escalated definitive radiation therapy in head and neck cancer.
CONCLUSION: The biological dose escalation was safe but an increase in the incidence of the acute side-effects: dysphagia, odynophagia and pain and late mucositis was obtained. Advances in knowledge: Despite the significant biological dose-escalation, within the range of doses delivered to this cohort, no clear dose-response effect was observed.
