Combined Spatial and Dosimetric Recurrence Pattern Analysis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Following Postoperative (Chemo)radiotherapy

Abstract Background 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 pr...
