Abstract

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has revolutionized the treatment of head and neck cancer. A general overview of IMRT in the treatment of head and neck cancer is provided, focusing on guidelines for target determination and delineation for the different subsites within the head and neck. General facts, general management, target delineation, and IMRT results of specific anatomic subsites are outlined, including the nasopharynx, the oropharynx, the hypopharynx, the larynx, the oral cavity, and the thyroid which are discussed along with cancer of unknown primary.
