Abstract:Purpose
Active radiation skin injury (ARSI) has the highest incidence of acute adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy (RT) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). This study aimed to screen risk factors that can facilitate the identification of HNC patients at high risk of ARSI.
Methods
Data from 255 stage III-IV HNC patients who underwent intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) were collected. The data from our medical records, includi… Show more
