Tumor volume as a predictive parameter in the sequential therapy (induction chemotherapy) of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas

ConclusionThe initial tumor volume had no influence on CR, OS or DFS. A severe response to ICT did not predict a powerful RCT outcome. The change in tumor volume post-RCT had an impact on OS and DFS. Tumor volume estimation using its diameter seems to be a reliable method.
