Résumé
Parotid gland (PG) shrinkage and neck volume reduction during radiotherapy of head and neck (H&N) cancer patients is a clinical issue that has prompted interest in adaptive radiotherapy (ART). This study focuses on the difference between planned dose and delivered dose and the possible effects of an efficient replanning strategy during the course of treatment. Six patients with H&N cancer treated by tomotherapy were retrospectively enrolled. Thirty daily dose distributions (D
