Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (RapidArc) vs. conventional fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy for 18F-FDG-PET-guided dose escalation in oropharyngeal cancer: A planning study

Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET)–guided focal dose escalation in oropharyngeal cancer may potentially improve local control. We evaluated the feasibility of this approach using volumetric-modulated arc therapy (RapidArc) and compared these plans with fixed-fi...
