Quality of life and toxicity guided treatment plan optimisation for head and neck cancer

It prioritised sparing of OARs related to high-impact toxicities and symptoms and resulted in a systematic improvement of predicted QOL compared to conventional VMAT.PMID:34237344 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2021.06.035
