Semi-automatic tumour volume measurements on MR-imaging using Smartbrush® in oropharyngeal carcinomas; our experience in 5 patients

Abstract

Head and neck cancer is worldwide the sixth most common cancer. Prognosis is linked to tumour (primary tumours, nodal stage and distant metastasis) and general patients' characteristics. Currently, the TNM-staging system is the most used staging system in the world. Beside this TNM-staging system, other prognostic factors are used to select the best treatment for each individual patient.
