  1. Vol refers to the average volume of the recurrences for each group.
  2. CTV-T stands for the clinical target volume of the primary tumour, CTV-N for large adenopathies, CTV-N1 for high risk lymph nodes and CTV-N2 for low risk lymph nodes. Def stands for definitive RT and post-op to post-operative.
