辐射引起的口干症在头颈癌患者中非常普遍。因此，幸存者会经历相关的长期毒性，可归类为口干综合征：口干、喉咙痛、味觉改变、蛀牙、音质改变以及咀嚼和吞咽功能受损。我们回顾了已发表的描述和报道口干症的研究，并讨论了在预防和治疗这种常见毒性方面取得的进展。车，美国。(2009)。临床肿瘤学21,737 -744 (C) 2009皇家放射学院。Elsevier Ltd.出版。版权所有。
Radiation-induced xerostomia is highly prevalent among patients treated for head and neck cancers. Consequently, survivors experience associated long-term toxicities that may be grouped as xerostomia syndrome: dry mouth, sore throat, altered taste, dental decay, changes in voice quality and impaired chewing and swallowing function. We present a review of published studies describing and reporting xerostomia and discuss advances made in the prevention and treatment of this common toxicity. Bhicle, S. A. et at. (2009).
