Figure 8 Positron emission tomography/computed tomography demonstrates tumor recurrence in a patient with a resected T4aN2b right buccal mucosa cancer prior to postoperative radiation. A-B: PET-CT obtained 50 d after surgery before postoperative radiation shows recurrent tumor (white arrow) in the infratemporal fossa; C-D: An IMRT treatment plan for this patient showing the recurrent tumor treated to a definitive radiation dose of 70 Gy rather a typical postoperative radiation dose of 60 Gy. IMRT: Intensity modulated radiation therapy; PET/CT: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
