Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Radiotherapy is a cornerstone in head and neck cancer treatment.
  • Advances in radiotherapy offer potential for improved outcomes and reduced side effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current literature on radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.
  • To evaluate the role of radiotherapy, alone or combined with other modalities, in managing head and neck malignancies.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of 424 scientific articles.
  • Inclusion of meta-analyses, randomized, prospective, and retrospective studies.
  • Analysis of data from 79,174 patients.

Main Results:

  • Radiotherapy alone can cure localized head and neck tumors, preserving organ function.

  • Technical advancements enhance local tumor control and reduce morbidity, requiring sophisticated planning.
  • Hyperfractionation may improve outcomes for advanced tumors but increases staff demands.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radiotherapy plays an essential role in head and neck cancer management.
    • Further controlled studies on chemoradiotherapy are needed.
    • Interstitial and intraoperative radiotherapy warrant further investigation and development.
