Radiotherapy outcomes and risk factors for young patients with head-and-neck squamous cell carcinomas: a matched-pair analysis
Young HNSCC patients ≤ 45 years treated with (chemo)radiation have similar rates of oncological survival outcomes compared to older patients. While chronic toxicities from (chemo)radiation are low, further research is needed to explore the long-term quality-of-life.
