Carcinomas of the Oropharynx Treated with Hyperfractionated Radiation Therapy on Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Protocol 8313

  • Conference paper
Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity and Oropharynx

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 134))

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinomas of the oropharynx are among the sites within the upper aerodigestive tract most consistently treated with radiation therapy. The ability to observe directly the response to radiation therapy and to document local-regional control and failure result in their being excellent sites to investigate modifiers of radiation effects.
