Dosimetric parameters predict radiation-induced choanal stenosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract Background Radiation-induced choanal stenosis (RICS) severely decreases life quality of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and originates from nasal mucositis, which depends on radiation dose. This self-controlled study aimed to find the correlations between dosimetric parameters...
