Abstract:To investigate T lymphocyte, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and their impact on patients with radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) after intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. The clinical data of 148 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer from January 2016 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into RIOM group (n = 42 cases) and non-RIOM group (n = 106 cases), based on whether they developed RIOM after intensity-modulated radiation therapy. The T l… Show more
