Abstract
This article describes an analysis of time-dose and clinical factors which affect the 2 year rate of control of cervical node metastases from squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck following external beam radiotherapy in a series of 140 patients. We find that node diameter and normalized total dose are the most important factors, and that overall treatment time is not statistically significant.
