The impact of weight loss on setup accuracy for head and neck cancer patients in the era of image guided radiation therapy

ConclusionsIn the era of daily KV imaging for head and neck cancer, minimal shifts are needed despite significant weight loss. When weight loss is present, therapists and physicians should pay most attention to the LR dimension to ensure accurate treatment setup. This study suggests despite significant weight loss, daily KV imaging offers a high fidelity and reproducibility.
