Spatial Radiation Dose Influence on Xerostomia Recovery and Its Comparison to Acute Incidence in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

Spatial Radiation Dose Influence on Xerostomia Recovery and Its Comparison to Acute Incidence in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

Purpose: Radiation-induced xerostomia is one of the most prevalent symptoms during and after head and neck cancer radiation therapy (RT). We aimed to discover the spatial radiation dose-based (voxel dose) importance pattern in the major salivary glands in relation to the recovery of xerostomia 18 mo...
