Do you ever use altered fractionation in the postoperative setting for patients with head and neck SCC?

Would you consider altered fractionation in a postop patient who has ECE or positive margins but is refusing chemotherapy?

Yes. In these cases I plan a course of accelerated fractionation scheme. I do a BID treatment one day a week to deliver 6 fractions per week (instead of 5).
