Abstract
Radiotherapy alone or in association with systemic treatment plays a major role in the treatment of head and neck tumours, either as a primary treatment or as a postoperative modality. The management of these tumours is multidisciplinary, requiring particular care at every treatment step. We present the update of the recommendations of the French Society of Radiation Oncology on the radiotherapy of head and neck tumours from the imaging work-up needed for optimal selection of treatment volume, to optimization of the dose distribution and delivery.
