Recursive partitioning analysis of 2105 patients treated in Radiation Therapy Oncology Group studies of head and neck cancer

The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group conducts large‐scale prospective, randomized trials to test new concepts in cancer patient care and provide information about pretreatment and treatment factors that may influence outcome.
