Background: Currently we are using flattened beams for Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) for head and neck treatments. The purpose of this study is to find whether there is any dosimetric benefits of FF beams in VMAT head & neck cancer treatments over FFF beams and vice versa. Aim: To compare dosimetric parameters of VMAT plans with FF and FFF beams in head and neck cancers. Materials and methods: Dosimetric data of fifty cases, Planned with FF and FFF beams, of oral cavity cancers were retrieved from the Monaco treatment planning system (version 5.2). Flattened and FFF beam plans are quantitatively compared in terms of Planning Target Volumes (PTV) Coverage, conformity index, homogeneity index, the Organ at Risk (OAR) sparing, peripheral dose and the Monitor Units (MU). ..
