Radiation Therapy of Head and Neck Cancer

The management of head and neck cancers is evolving to enhance long-term outcomes while minimizing disfigurement and distress from treatments. With significant advances in surgical and radiation therapies, early-stage tumors, particularly in the vocal cords and oral cavity, have a high cure rate. However, advanced tumors present greater challenges, necessitating integrated, multimodal treatment strategies. As a result, the prognosis for these more complex cases is improving due to more aggressive therapeutic approaches.
