Dosimetric and clinical factors for predicting acute radiation oral mucositis in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy

Objective To prospectively determine the dosimetric and clinical factors for predicting the risk of acute radiation oral mucositis (ROM) in patients receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with concurrent chemotherapy for local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods Ninety-two patients who were treated with IMRT with concurrent chemotherapy from 2015 to 2016 for local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were included in this...
