Hippocampus sparing volumetric modulated arc therapy in patients with loco-regionally advanced oropharyngeal cancer

This study aimed to assess the incidental radiation exposure of the hippocampus (HC) in locoregionally-advanced oropharyngeal cancer patients undergoing volumetric modulated arc therapy and the feasibility of HC-sparing plan optimization. The initial plans were generated without dose-volume constrai...
