Journal ArticleDOI

Dose, volume, and function relationships in parotid salivary glands following conformal and intensity-modulated irradiation of head and neck cancer

TL;DR: Dose/volume/function relationships in the parotid glands are characterized by dose and volume thresholds, steep dose/response relationships when the thresholds are reached, and a maximal volume dependence parameter in the NTCP model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xerostomia and its predictors following parotid-sparing irradiation of head-and-neck cancer

TL;DR: An improvement over time in xerostomia, occurring in tandem with rising salivary production from the spared major Salivary glands, suggests a long-term clinical benefit from their sparing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of local-regional recurrence following parotid-sparing conformal and segmental intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.

TL;DR: The majority of local-regional recurrences after conformal and segmental IMRT were "in-field," in areas judged to be at high risk at the time of RT planning, including the GTV, the operative bed, and the first echelon nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recurrences near base of skull after IMRT for head-and-neck cancer: implications for target delineation in high neck and for parotid gland sparing.

TL;DR: Locoregional failures near the base of the skull, and their relationships to the targets in the high neck, were examined in a series of patients who underwent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head-and-neck cancer.
