The development of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has played a major role in improving outcomes and decreasing morbidity in patients with head and neck cancer. This review addresses this vital modality with a focus on the important role of the head and neck surgeon. The technique as well as its benefits and points of caution are outlined, the definitions of tumor and treatment volumes are discussed, and the dose and fractionation are detailed. Following this are several sections dedicated to the role of the head and neck surgeon in the planning of both definitive and postoperative radiotherapy to the primary site and neck. There is a focus throughout on anatomic and surgical considerations; commonly encountered situations are illustrated. With a deeper understanding of this technique and their own pivotal contribution to target delineation, head and neck surgeons will be poised to expand their role and improve cancer care for their patients. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

调强放射治疗(IMRT)的发展在改善头颈部癌患者的治疗效果和降低发病率方面发挥了重要作用。本综述探讨了这一重要模式,重点关注头颈外科医生的重要作用。文中概述了该技术及其益处和注意事项,讨论了肿瘤体积和治疗体积的定义,并详细说明了剂量和分割方式。接下来有几个部分专门论述了头颈外科医生在原发部位和颈部的根治性放疗及术后放疗计划中的作用。全文重点关注解剖学和手术方面的考虑因素,并举例说明了常见情况。通过更深入地了解这项技术以及他们自身对靶区勾画的关键贡献,头颈外科医生将有能力扩大其作用,改善对患者的癌症治疗。© 2015威利期刊公司。《头颈》38: E2368 - E2373, 2016年。
