To support radiation oncologists on their decisions, with individualized, tailored treatment regimens increasingly becoming the standard of care, accurate tools to predict tumour response to treatment are needed. The goal of this work is to identify the most determinant factor(s) for treatment response aiming to develop prediction models that robustly estimate tumour response to radiation therapy in patients with head- and-neck cancer.engHead-and-neck cancerRadiation therapyPrimary tumour volumePrognosisTreatment failure prediction for head-and-neck cancer radiation therapyjournal article10.1016/j.canrad.2016.02.012
