Résumé

Radiation-induced dysphagia is a major determinant of quality of life in patients treated for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). While dose to the pharyngeal constrictor muscles has been extensively investigated, the base of tongue (BOT) remains poorly studied. This study aimed to evaluate the association between BOT volume and dose-volume parameters and late dysphagia.
