Dosimetric parameters predicting radiation-induced oral mucositis in head-and-neck cancers in two intensity-modulated radiation therapy protocols: A retrospective analytical study
Background: In locally advanced head-and-neck cancers (HNCs), definitive chemoradiation therapy has emerged as the treatment of choice due to the benefit of organ preservation. Radiation therapy is known to cause significant acute and late toxicities when it is used at radical doses. Studies have sh...
