Abstract

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the seventh most common cause of cancer death worldwide. The treatment goal for patients with loco-regional disease is organ preservation and cure. The likelihood of local control (LC) after surgery for recurrent cervical nodes may be improved by using high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR) because it may increase total biological effective dose administered, decrease the overall time, and is very conformal, allowing protection of normal surrounding structures.
