Dose to macroscopic nodal disease
Lymph node status by CT and MRI at diagnoses and after 50 Gy
•
Total node dose mean 55 Gy (43-60)
•
Good response group with node size < 10 mm after 50 Gy
•
Bad response group
Excellent node control
•
3 recurrences in good response group, no relation with dose
•
9/37 recurrences in bad response group, but none after > 58 Gy
58 to 60 Gy EBRT gives high control rates
