Combined spatial and dosimetric recurrence pattern analysis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma following postoperative (chemo)radiotherapy

Advancements in nodal staging for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have prompted radiotherapy de-escalation trials to reduce irradiation of electively treated neck regions, with the goal of improving treatment tolerability. While volumetric de-escalation has shown promise in definitive...

Description
Summary:Advancements in nodal staging for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have prompted radiotherapy de-escalation trials to reduce irradiation of electively treated neck regions, with the goal of improving treatment tolerability. While volumetric de-escalation has shown promise in definitive radiotherapy of HNSCC, limited data exist regarding its safety in the postoperative treatment setting. This study aimed to assess dose-level-specific locoregional recurrence patterns following standard postoperative (chemo)radiotherapy in a mixed HNSCC cohort to inform risk-adaptive radiotherapy strategies.
