This book addresses common factors contributing to treatment failure in head and neck cancer, including insufficient tumor oxygenation, rapid cancer cell division during treatment, and radioresistance. Authored by three medical physicists and a clinical oncologist, it explores how radiobiological discoveries have led to the development of various treatment techniques. The book thoroughly examines novel treatment methods backed by current scientific evidence, as well as the significant challenges involved in retreating patients who have previously undergone radiotherapy for primary head and neck cancer.
