Prospective phase II study of radiotherapy dose and volume de-escalation for elective neck treatment of oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancer

The required elective nodal dose and volumes for head and neck intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) have largely been extrapolated from conventional radiotherapy fields. In this prospective, dual-center, phase II study, we investigated the efficacy and tolerability of reduced elective nodal volume and dose in oropharyngeal and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC).
