Long-Term Patient-Reported Outcomes and Dosimetric Predictors of Quality of Life After Curative-Intent Radiation Therapy for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Cross-Sectional Study

As OPSCC treatment becomes more personalised, clinically meaningful QOL endpoints and their predictors are increasingly important.
