Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to compare IMRT and 3D-CRT with regard to radiation-induced xerostomia (RTOG acute toxicity (XERRTOG)) and patient-rated xerostomia (EORTC QLQ-H&N35 (XERpat)) as well as other quality of life (QoL) dimensions among patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
