Two-field versus three-field irradiation technique in the postoperative treatment of head-and-neck cancer

Conclusions: “Caudal tilt” technique is often used as an alternative to 3FT for postoperative radiotherapy in cases of greater medical and technical complexity. Despite its use in more challenging cases, CTT provides similar long-term clinical outcomes compared with standard 3FT, when computerized three-dimensional dosimetry is used to assure adequate dosimetry throughout the treated volume.
