From primary nodal GTV to “high dose” CTV

96 neck nodes with ECE, 96%<5 mm from capsule

“For N1 nodes that are at high risk for ECE but not grossly infiltrating musculature, 1 cm clinical target volume margins around the nodal gross tumor volume are recommended to cover microscopic nodal extension in head-and-neck cancer.”
