A dosimetric comparison of volumetric-modulated arc therapy and IMRT for cochlea-sparing radiation therapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
Background: Head-and-neck cancer treatment includes radiotherapy as a crucial component. However, radiotherapy, like other treatment modalities, has its own side effects, some of which can be avoided using the latest medical technology and understanding the illness. Despite being a relatively uncomm...
