NOTCH publication out now in @IJROBP ! 🧪
Involved neck only (INO) vs mucosal radiotherapy (MUC) for HNSCCUP
INO RT for unilateral HNSCCUP offers similar 5-yr survival and disease control as MUC, and lower rates of enteral feeding
Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.ijrobp.202…
Survival Data (see paper for full data, and sub-group analysis)
5-yr OS was similar between INO and MUC RT groups, 82% and 80%.
Death from other causes (not HNSCUP) was higher in MUC RT cohort (p=0.003).
Primary site emergence was rare, occurring in only 3/195 patients (1.5%)
Conclusions:
🔵Acceptably low primary emergence rates
🔵Lower toxicity with INO radiotherapy
🔵No OS difference vs MUC
🔵INO may be a feasible alternative in modern practice
