New radiation tech aims to spare saliva glands, reduce dry mouth
NCT ID NCT04883281
Summary
This study tested a new type of radiation therapy that adapts the treatment plan each day based on the patient's current anatomy. The goal was to better target the cancer while reducing radiation exposure to nearby healthy organs, like the salivary glands, to lessen side effects such as severe dry mouth. It involved 50 adults with head and neck cancer, comparing this new adaptive approach to the standard radiation method.
