The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the susceptibility of severe
oral mucositis (OM) in Chinese nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with …

Background Radiation-induced oral mucositis (OM) is one of the most common acute
complications for head and neck cancer. Severe OM is associated with radiation treatment …

Simple Summary Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of
genetic variation found in an individual's DNA sequences. SNPs can occur in both coding …

Background Most head and neck cancer (HNC) patients receive radiotherapy (RT) and
develop toxicities. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) was designed to identify …

Purpose A two-stage genome-wide association study was carried out in head and neck
cancer (HNC) patients aiming to identify genetic variants associated with either specific …

Background Genetic variants associated with acute side effects of radiotherapy in
nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain largely unknown. Methods We performed a two …

Purpose To explore risk factors for severe acute oral mucositis of nasopharyngeal
carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving chemo-radiotherapy, build predictive models and …

Every year, about 650 thousand new cases of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) are diagnosed
globally. Apart from surgery, radiotherapy (RTH), chemotherapy (CHT) or its combination is …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between polymorphic
variants of DNA repair genes with the susceptibility of acute oral mucositis (OM) in …

Radiotherapy is one of the primary choices for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
(NPC) and may result in severe radiotoxicities on normal tissues. Single nucleotide …
