Disease-control rates following intensity-modulated radiation therapy for small primary oropharyngeal carcinoma

Disease-control rates following intensity-modulated radiation therapy for small primary oropharyngeal carcinoma

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to achieve favorable disease-control rates while minimizing parotid gland doses in patients treated for small primary tumors of the oropharynx. Methods and Materials: We retrospectively id...
