What is your approach in deciding to include the entire tongue or a smaller volume (tumor surgical bed + margin) for adjuvant radiation in oral tongue cancer?
Would you treat a smaller volume than the entire tongue for small, well lateralized tumor with indication for adjuvant radiation based on nodal status?

I would treat the large majority of the tongue, unless I had a very good method to immobilize the tongue (which I do not have; a bite block is not enough).
