What is the recommended adjuvant dose for neuroendocrine cancer in the head and neck?
What dose would you give for ECE in this setting?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
I assume it's a high grade NEC (small cell or LCNEC) and in that case, I'd treat to 50 Gy in the adjuvant setting with a tumor bed boost (for ECE) to 60 Gy. The volume would be dependent on the location of the primary and the nodal stage.
