Résumé

Patients with secondary/recurrent squamous cell head and neck cancer have poor prognoses. Re-irradiation is a treatment option. However, best technique to re-irradiate is not known. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of patients treated with curative-intent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) re-irradiation (re-RT) for head and neck (H&N) cancers.
