Brachial plexus dose tolerance in head and neck cancer patients treated with sequential intensity modulated radiation therapy

Abstract

In this study cohort, at a minimum of two-years follow up, the mean dose of 68.7Gy, a median dose to 69.5Gy to ≤5% of ipsilateral BP, and a median Dmax of 72.96Gy did not result in BP injury when patients were treated with S-IMRT technique. However, longer follow up is needed.
