What is your approach to treating inoperable mucosal melanoma of the head and neck region?
What is the preferred dose, fractionation, and role of concurrent chemo?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
It is often nasal cavity/paranasal sinuses, so 1.2 Gy BID to 74.4 Gy and electively treat the neck. Otherwise 70 Gy/35 fx/30 treatment days SIB.
