Dose Volume Histogram Constraints in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer treated with Surgery and Adjuvant HDR Brachytherapy: A Proposal of the Head and Neck and Skin GEC ESTRO Working Group.

CONCLUSIONS: In Unirradiated patients the panel recommends to avoid implantation of postoperative CTVs exceeding 15 cm3 at Total EQD2-DVH TV100 doses in excess of 125Gy as well as to limit the irradiation of the Mandible2cm3 to 61Gy. In previously irradiated patients the panel cannot make a recommendation based on the available results. PMID: 32941955 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
