PURPOSE: Xerostomia commonly occurs in patients who undergo head and neck radiation therapy and can seriously affect patients' quality of life. In this study, we developed a xerostomia prediction model with radiation treatment data using a 3-dimensio...
Accurate clinical target volume (CTV) delineation is essential to ensure proper tumor coverage in radiation therapy. This is a particularly difficult task for head-and-neck cancer patients where detailed knowledge of the pathways of microscopic tumor...
OBJECTIVE: To determine if multispectral narrow-band imaging (mNBI) can be used for automated, quantitative detection of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC).
