Neck dose-limiting rings reduce head and neck lymphedema in early nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing IMRT: a dosimetric-clinical validation

Neck dose-limiting rings reduce head and neck lymphedema in early nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing IMRT: a dosimetric-clinical validation

Abstract This study aimed to determine the optimal limiting dose to reduce head and neck lymphedema in patients with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) by setting dose limiting rings at the anterior and posterior regions of the neck. A total of 15...
