## Abstract ## Background. Our aim was to evaluate the acceleration of a hyperfractionated, concurrent chemoradiation regimen (HxCRT) for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). ## Methods. Patients with unresectable HNSCC were treated based on a previously published HxCRT regime
## Abstract Due to the close spatial relationship of head and neck and skull base tumors to numerous normal anatomical structures, conventional photon radiation therapy can be associated with significant acute and longβterm treatmentβrelated toxicities. Superior dose localization properties of prot
A retrospective study on local tumor control, survival, and complications of conventional irradiation vs. accelerated hyperfractionated irradiation in patients with selected head and neck cancer sites was undertaken. A total of 1,007 consecutive patients treated with radiation alone for cure from 19
