Abstract

The treatment of Head and neck cancer is a complicated procedure because of the complex structure and closeness of several organs at risk (OARs). The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of nine field intensity modulated radiation therapy (9F-IMRT) and dual-arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (2A-VMAT) in the treatment of head and neck cancer.

Keywords
