Veränderungen des Schmeckvermögens durch IM-/IG-Strahlentherapie bei Kopf-Hals-Tumorpatienten

Abstract

The time-dependent course of taste dysfunction during radiotherapy and the following recovery is predictable. A dependency of taste dysfunction to radiation-dose exists. Based on the collected data a targeted dose reduction to the tongue with a view to minimize the taste dysfunction is thinkable and aim of further studies.
