Abstract

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has had a rapid growth in treatment strategy, especially for head and neck cancer (HNC), due to its well known conformal dose advantages. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is direct through irradiation of mandible bone and IMRT offers the potential to spare it. As we move into the era of IMRT, is ORN still a real toxicity?
