How do you decide on the elective radiation volume when treating a lateralized node negative non-tongue oral cavity cancer with definitive chemoRT?

I recommend surgery with/without postop RT unless medically inoperable. With curative intent, use brachytherapy or intraoral cone for the boost to shorten the overall time. Irradiate contralateral neck if within 1.5-2 cm of midline.
