Abstract

There is minimal to no data regarding the use of SBRT as definitive primary treatment in other head & neck disease sites. Limited data support the use of brachytherapy or SBRT as a boost to EBRT in the definitive setting for nasopharyngeal (Chap. 1), paranasal sinus, and oropharyngeal SCC.

  • Generally indicated for T1-2 tumors.

  • Efficacy and complication rates are similar between brachytherapy and SBRT.
