Sparing the contralateral submandibular gland without compromising PTV coverage by using volumetric modulated arc therapy
BACKGROUND: Salivary gland function decreases after radiation doses of 39 Gy or higher. Currently, submandibular glands are not routinely spared. We implemented a technique for sparing contralateral submandibular glands (CLSM) during contralateral elective neck irradiation without compromising PTV c...
