The risk of carotid stenosis in head and neck cancer patients after radiation therapy

The risk of carotid stenosis in head and neck cancer patients after radiation therapy

Objectives: Head and neck radiotherapy (RT) is a risk factor for cerebrovascular disease. We performed a retrospective cohort study to evaluate carotid artery stenosis (CAS) incidence in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing RT, characterizing associated risk factors. Materials and methods:...
