A comparative study of planning and dosimetry in locally advanced head-and-neck cancer: sequential versus simultaneous integrated boost methods in intensity-modulated radiotherapy
Objective: A head-and-neck cancer (HNC) comprises one-third load of India's cancer burden. We aim to compare the target coverage and the normal tissue sparing between sequential intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and simultaneously integrated boost (SIB)-IMRT plan for patients of locally a...
