Abstract
Solid tumors may contain oxygen-deficient hypoxic areas and such areas may cause tumors to become radioresistant. Many studies in the past showed modification of tumor hypoxia significantly improved the loco-regional tumor control. Hypofractionated Radiotherapy along with Nimorazole demonstrated a significant benefit in the palliative treatment of LAHNSCC in patients with poor performance status without added toxicities. Yet long term studies with larger population groups are needed to arrive at a statistically significant conclusion.
