Abstract
Primary radiation therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the mucosa of the head and neck is commonly delivered with Intensity Modulated Radiation therapy and a dose prescription involving the Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) approach, also known as Dose-Painting. With an SIB prescription, all target regions receive the same number of fractions but different total doses as the fraction size is different for each area. A common primary radiation therapy SIB dose program is to prescribe 70 Gy at 2 Gy to the high-risk target area and 56 Gy at 1.6 Gy to the elective target areas.
