Objective: To assess the mean dose the pharyngeal constrictor muscle (PCM) received and its effect on dysphagia and develop a cut-off value for its occurrence. Methods: 116 patients with head and neck cancer who required bilateral neck irradiation treated using the simultaneous integrated boost IMRT technique were retrospectively evaluated. Pharyngeal constrictor (superior, middle, inferior) and cricopharyngeus and esophageal inlet muscles (cricopharyngeal inlet) were considered dysphagia/aspiration-related structures (DARS) and were summated as one organ at risk structure PCM. PlanPCM consists of the sum of one or multiple pharyngeal constrictor muscles away from high-risk volumes. Results: This study enrolled 116 patients (37 female, 79 male), mean age of 51 years. The mean dose to PCM was 51.37 Gy ± SD (range, 30.08–63.86 Gy). The severity of dysphagia correlated significantly with the dose received by PlanPCM (p |
