radiotherapy (3D CRT), has excited the profession of radiation oncology more than any …

Background. Our aim was to correlate patterns of failure with target volume delineations in
patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with intensity …

A dry mouth or xerostomia is one of the most common complications during and after
radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, because irreparable damage is caused to the …

Background. Xerostomia is a common, debilitating complication of radiation therapy (RT) for
head and neck cancer. This article reviews the pathogenesis of radiation‐induced …

Background and Purpose: Radiation treatment of head-and-neck tumors mostly leads to a
damage to the salivary glands and a consequential permanent loss of saliva. The aim of this …

Aims To establish whether there is a difference in recovery of salivary function with bilateral
superficial lobe parotid-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (BSLPS-IMRT) versus …

Radiation induced xerostomia is a frequent consequence of radiotherapy (RT) for head–
neck cancer (HNC) patients, when parotid glands are included in the radiation fields …

BACKGROUND Xerostomia is a uniform complication after radiotherapy (RT) for
nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Dosimetric studies suggested that intensity‐modulated …

Background and purpose To determine rates of xerostomia after intensity-modulated
radiotherapy (IMRT) or intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for oropharyngeal cancer …

Radiotherapy (RT) continues to play a key role in the management of head and neck cancer
(HNC). Xerostomia remains a principal detriment to the quality of life (QoL) for 80% of …
