Head and neck cancers get the short end of the stick when it comes to radiation toxicity. In 2010, the Quantitative Analyses of Normal Tissue Effects in Clinic (QUANTEC) group did the best they could compiling various trial data to assign normal tissue complication probabilities (NTCP)--all to help us prioritize where to push dose with our increasing abilities to do so. Eight years later, there’s a new and improved QUANTEC update jam-packed with NTCP theory.
