DOES HYPERFRACTIONATED RADIOTHERAPY CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF HEAD AND NECK CANCER? A TRIAL COMPARING CONVENTIONAL WITH HYPERFRACTIONATED RADIOTHERAPY
The optimal fractionation schedule for radiotherapy of head and neck cancer has been controversial. The objective of this randomized trial was to test the efficacy of hyperfractionation vs. standard fractionation. Patients with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck organs were randomly assigned to receive radiotherapy delivered with A) standard fractionation at 2 Gy/fraction/day, 5 days...
متن کاملClinico-pathologic Appraisal of Lipomatous Lesions in the Head and Neck Region; a Multicenter Nigerian Study

متن کاملHyperfractionated or accelerated radiotherapy in head and neck cancer: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Several trials have studied the role of unconventional fractionated radiotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, but the effect of such treatment on survival is not clear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess whether this type of radiotherapy could improve survival. METHODS Randomised trials comparing conventional radiotherapy with hyperfractionated or accelerated ...
متن کاملA prospective radiobiological study of acute esophagitis and swallowing dysfunction in head-and-neck radiotherapy
Introduction: Esophagitis is one of the main causes of swallowing dysfunction after radiation therapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC).It significantly affects patients’ quality of life as well as having a potentially negative impact on their long term survival. However, little has been investigated on the dose-response and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of es...
