Summary

Elective nodal irradiation has been a longstanding standard-of-care in the management of mucosal squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Recent studies have suggested that reduced elective dose and volume may be a viable approach to improve toxicity. In this study, we are eliminating the elective neck treatment, focusing therapy on involved and suspicious nodes.
