Physical and Radiobiological Evaluation of Accelerated Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer and Comparison with Short-Term Clinical Outcomes.
Conclusion: The mean
QF based on UPI was found to be close to unity, which correlates with being a better IMRT plan. The present study
suggested the existence of a moderate correlation between the calculated NTCP values and their respective severities
of the organ at risk (OAR’s). Accelerated IMRT with chemotherapy is a clinically feasible option in the treatment
of locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with encouraging initial tumor response and
acceptable acute toxicities.
