External beam radiotherapy for head and neck cancers is associated with increased variability in retinal vascular oxygenation.

External beam radiotherapy for head and neck cancers is associated with increased variability in retinal vascular oxygenation.

Radiation retinopathy is a possible post-treatment complication of radiation therapy. The pathophysiologic mechanism is hypothesized to be microvascular in origin, but evidence is limited. In an effort to study retinal oxygenation in these patients, we herein evaluate the repeatability and variabili...
