Changes in functional imaging parameters following induction chemotherapy have important implications for individualised patient-based treatment regimens for advanced head and neck cancer.
BACKGROUND: When induction chemotherapy (IC) is used prior to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in head and neck cancer (HNC), functional imaging (FI) may inform adaptation of treatment plans with the aim of optimising outcomes. Understanding the impact of IC on FI parameters is, therefore, essential. PURPOSE...
