- Changes from 2018
- Posterior commissure was excluded from CTV
-> posterior commissure was treated in 9 (25.7%) patients)
- Posterior commissure was excluded from CTV
- PTV = CTV+3mm
- CTV to PTV expansion to the posterior direction was reduced when CTV was close to hypopharynx

Treatment outcomes
- Hypofx with 3.5Gy/f is effective
Considerations
- 2.25Gy seems safe. In early cancer, 2.5Gy or even higher dd is feasible.
