Cumulative risks of TLN of patients with any HNC, NPC, and non-NPC HNC receiving PBT or VMAT. Kaplan–Meier analysis comparing the cumulative risks of TLN between PBT and VMAT in patients with any HNC (A), patients with NPC (B), and patients with non-NPC HNC (C). The risks of TLN were comparable between PBT and VMAT in all the subgroups.
