posterior border is placed behind the spinous processes or farther back to cover an extended scar.
Inferior border: just superior to the arytenoids.
An anterior appositional  eld is used to treat the mid- and lower neck nodes. Field borders are indicated in the section “General Principles.”
To deliver the boost dose to the primary tumor and upper neck nodes, the size of lateral  elds is reduced to encompass the known disease locations. It is also prudent to cover the root of tongue or deep  oor of mouth muscles to the insertion at the hyoid bone in the boost volume since recurrence tends to occur in these regions even for relatively super cial tumors.
To boost the upper neck without the primary site, a lat­eral appositional electron  eld is used. To deliver the boost to the mid or lower neck, a lateral appositional electron  eld or glancing photon  elds are used.

An additional boost dose of 6 Gy in three fractions may be given when indicated, such as when multiple adverse features are pre­sent or when the interval between surgery and radiation is much longer than 6 weeks.

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
Conformal radiotherapy can eliminate sequential portal cone-down because the dose gradient to the tumor bed and to regions at risk for harboring microscopic disease is achieved by varying the fraction size. When using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in the postoperative setting, treat­ment is given in 30 fractions as illustrated in Case Studies 6-4
to 6-8. Smaller target volumes considered to be at extra-high
risk, o en determined in collaboration with the surgeon and based on pathologic  ndings, receive 64 to 66 Gy.

 e patient is immobilized in a supine position, with an extended thermoplastic mask covering head and shoulder.  in-cut computed tomography (CT) images are obtained in treatment position, and target volumes are outlined for dosimetric planning.
Virtual Gross Target Volume
 ere is no actual GT V a er complete surgical tumor resection. However, it can be useful to formulate a virtual GTV (vGTV) to facilitate target volume de nition.  e vGTV is a best approximation of the tissues having high likelihood of har­boring microscopic tumor reconstructed based on  ndings of preoperative clinical examination, imaging studies, and surgical–pathologic assessment. Bulky  aps can cause sub­stantial distortions in the tumor bed and should, therefore, be taken into account in reconstructing the vGTV.
Clinical Target Volumes
 ree CTVs are generally delineated.
CTV1 delineates volumes to receive the highest dose (there-
fore also refe rred to a s CT VHD).  is includes the primary and nodal vGTVs with 1-cm margins. For larger primary tumors, CTVHD o en covers the entire tongue and  oor of mouth.
CTV2 delineates volumes to receive an intermediate dose
(therefore also referred to as CTVID). For the primary tumor bed, CTVID encompasses the remaining opera­tive bed and/or a 0.5- to 1-cm additional margin beyond CTVHD. For the neck, it covers the dissected neck not har­boring involved nodes.
CTV3 delineates volumes to receive an elective dose for
subclinical disease (therefore also referred to as CTVED). In the N0 neck, nodal levels I to IV are included in CTVED When microscopic perineural invasion is present, CTVED includes the lingual nerve and/or inferior alveolar nerves to approximately the distal end of the mandibular nerve (V3) either ipsilaterally or, for tumors extending to or crossing midline, bilaterally. For extensive perineural extension (involvement of large nerve or presence of clini­cal signs), CTVED includes the proximal V3 up to the skull base or even the trigeminal ganglion.
 e isocenter is generally placed above the arytenoids. Level III and IV nodes are preferentially treated with a matching anterior beam similar to conventional techniques.
40 Gy, and then a full midline block can be used up to 50 Gy.  e dissected uninvolved nodal levels are boosted to 56 Gy, and an additional 4 Gy is added if these lower neck nodes harbored disease.
Some patients have extensive reconstruction with large  aps. If the bulky  aps extend at the level of the larynx or more inferiorly, matching the low neck beam to the IMRT  elds may be more complicated, and it may be di cult to get the appropriate dose to the neck tissues at risk deep to
the  aps. In these cases, treating all the targets with a single IMRT plan may be more e ective, though additional atten­tion should be paid to delineating the larynx and esopha­gus as avoidance structures for minimizing the dose to these organs.
Timing of Postoperative Radiotherapy
It is desirable to commence postoperative radiotherapy as soon as possible a er healing of surgical wounds. With good communication between surgical, radiation, and dental oncologists, simulation can usually take place 3 to 4 weeks a er surgery, and radiotherapy can start within a week in most patients. When delayed wound healing postpones commencement of postoperative radiation to beyond 5 to 6 weeks, we administer accelerated fractionation, such as concomitant boost, by delivering twice-a-day irradiations for 5 treatment days, either once a week or toward the end of the radiation course, to reduce the potential hazard of prolonged cumulative treatment time.
Primary Radiotherapy
Target Volume
Initial Target Volume
A well-di erentiated, super cial lesion of 1 cm or less with
no palpable lymphadenopathy (T1 N0): primary tumor with 2-cm margins.
Floor of mouth (mostly anterior) lesion of 1- to 4-cm
maximal diameter without palpable lymphadenopathy (T1 to T2 N0): primary tumor with at least 2-cm margins and level I (submental and submandibular) and Level II nodes.
Oral tongue tumor >1 cm thick with no palpable lymphad-
enopathy: primary tumor with at least 2-cm margins and level I to IV nodes.
Presence of lymphadenopathy (N+) at diagnosis calls for
irradiation of the entire cervical nodal basins.
A boost volume encompasses the primary tumor (1- to 2-cm margins) and involves lymph nodes.
Setup and Field Arrangement
For small T1 N0 lesions, the entire treatment is given with an intraoral cone or by implant (if the risk for anesthesia is low).
For all other stages, treatment is given with external beam irradiation by conventional technique or IMRT as described above for postoperative radiotherapy. Use of stent, insertion of a seed at the anterior border of the tumor, and marking the oral commissures before obtaining simulation images facilitates shaping of the target volumes.
 e boost dose to the primary tumor is preferably deliv­ered by interstitial implant. If the patient cannot undergo anesthesia, boost dose is given with orthovoltage x-rays through an intraoral cone when accessible; in this case, the boost is delivered before the start of the external beam
