    • Retrospective, case control. Review of 3 RTOG trials of concurrent chemo-RT (91-11, 97-03, 99-14) for severe late toxicity with focus on pharyngeal/laryngeal toxicity. 230 patients
    • Outcome: 43% severe late toxicity
    • Predictors: age (OR 1.05 per year), advanced T-stage, larynx/hypopharynx site, neck dissection
    • Conclusion: Severe late toxicity after CCRT is common
