Abstract
The lowest mean doses of radiation to the swallowing muscles were achieved when using BT as opposed to SRT/CBK or IMRT. For the 81 patients alive with no evidence of disease for at least 1 year, a dose-effect relationship was observed between the dose in the superior constrictor muscle and the “normalcy of diet” (Performance Status Scales) or “swallowing scale” (H&N35) scores (p < 0.01).
