PURPOSEHead and neck cancers (HNCs) are in general treated with conventional fractionation regimen of 1.8-2 Gy per fraction. Altered fractionation (ALFT) strategies such as hypofractionation radiotherapy (HYPO-RT), accelerated fractionation radiotherapy (AFRT), and hyperfractionation radiotherapy (HFRT) have not been practiced uniformly across centers in different parts of the world. Countries in Asia share common cancer demographics, and we designed this survey for Federation of Asian Radiation Oncology (FARO) member countries to understand the usage and challenges in the delivery of ALFT in HNCs.MATERIALS AND METHODSA 21-point electronic survey (Federation of Asian Radiation Oncology Research Network [FERN]-S-005) was designed by the FERN and was circulated through the FARO research secretariat to the FARO council member countries and the responses were collected …
