Abstract
Oral and oropharyngeal cancers are significant contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide, with radiotherapy being a cornerstone of their treatment. Recent advances have introduced concomitant boost radiotherapy (CBRT), which may alter the toxicity profile compared to conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT). This retrospective comparative study examined 120 patients, split equally between CBRT and CFRT groups, to evaluate and compare their toxicity profiles. The study identified key differences in acute and late toxicities between the two therapeutic approaches, which could influence treatment decision‐making. Our findings suggest distinct toxicity profiles for CBRT and CFRT, providing essential insights for tailoring treatment strategies in oral and oropharyngeal cancers.
