Objective: To compare acute morbidities of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with 3-dimensional conformal radiation (3D-CRT) in a uniform population of oropharynx cancer patients completing definitive chemoradiation.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Setting: University hospital referral center.
Patients: Thirty patients (15 IMRT and 15 3D-CRT) with nonmetastatic stage IV oropharynx squamous cell cancer.
