Outcomes After Fast Neutron Therapy for Locally Advanced Base of Tongue Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
This is the first study to report clinical outcomes of NRT for BOT ACC. Swallowing outcomes were acceptable, with a low rate of persistent PEG dependence. NRT achieved significant locoregional control in many locally advanced primary tumors. Additional improvements in the therapeutic ratio and functional outcomes may be achievable with IMNT.
