Concurrent platinum‐based chemotherapy and simultaneous modulated accelerated radiation therapy for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue base

With moderate follow-up, chemotherapy and SMART contributes to excellent results, with 24-month actuarial overall survival and local control of 90% and 92%, respectively. Toxicity may be increased, however, with 15% of patients developing esophageal stricture or stenosis. .
