RO is suggesting to go for the deescalation in dose, but of course it is my decision.
You make an interesting comment on the 60-62Gy used for the cervical neck. Is that the standard total dosing for cervical lymph node tumors? It seems I am getting a total of 70Gy to the cervical neck lymph nodes, and this deescalation brings me down to 60Gy. It is possible that MKSCC or my RO uses 70Gy as a standard dose to both primary and secondary sites, while other centers use a lower dose to secondary cervical lymph nodes. Does anyone have more information on this?
