NTCP modeling and dose–volume correlations for acute xerostomia and dry eye after whole brain radiation

Abstract Background Whole brain radiation (WBRT) may lead to acute xerostomia and dry eye from incidental parotid and lacrimal exposure, respectively. We performed a prospective observational study to assess the incidence/severity of this toxicity. We herein perform a secondary analysis relating par...
