Thyroid dose‐volume thresholds for the risk of radiation‐related hypothyroidism in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with intensity‐modulated radiotherapy—A single‐institution study
Abstract Background To identify thyroid dose‐volume thresholds for radiotherapy (RT)‐related hypothyroidism (HT) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity‐modulated RT (IMRT). In this way, we desired to guide the design of treatment plans and, finally, lower HT prevalenc...
