Abstract:BackgroundWe evaluated clinical and dosimetric outcomes of radiotherapy using two anterior oblique portals (AOP), to reduce the dose to the bilateral internal carotid arteries (CAs) and pharyngeal constrictor muscle (PCM) during early‐stage glottic cancer (ESGC) treatment.MethodsWe identified patients with ESGC who underwent definitive radiotherapy between June 2014 and May 2020.ResultsAmong the 66 patients, 32 (48%) underwent radiotherapy using AOP, and the remaining underwent typical radiotherapy using paral… Show more
