[Methodical and critical analysis of the determination of target volumes in case of hypopharyngeal and epiglottic tumors and the adaption of the dose distribution to their dimensions - Part 2 (author's transl)].
Seventy-five patients with a hypopharynx or epiglottis carcinoma were treated between 1954 and 1974 at the Radiologic Hospital of the University of Heidelberg. The clinical study of these cases provides a survey of the extension and formation of metastases of these tumors. This allows to establish empirically justified target volumes for hypopharyngeal and epiglottic tumors.
