Conclusion - fractionation
• Awareness of the fractionation sensitivity of tumors
and normal tissues is critical
• Clinical studies and meta-analysis have shown that
moderately accelerated radiotherapy improves loco-
regional control
• Hyperfractionated RT improves loco-regional control
and survival
• Altered fractionation is thus recommended for
primary radiotherapy of head and neck cancer
