Prediction of xerostomia in elderly based on clinical characteristics and salivary flow rate with machine learning

Scientific Reports
Xerostomia may be accompanied by changes in salivary flow rate and the incidence increases in elderly. We aimed to use machine learning algorithms, to identify significant predictors for the presence of xerostomia.

Machine Learning Methods Uncover Radiomorphologic Dose Patterns in Salivary Glands that Predict Xerostomia in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer

Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2019
Purpose: Patients with head-and-neck cancer (HNC) may experience xerostomia after radiation therapy (RT), which leads to compromised quality of life. The purpose of this study is to explore how the spatial pattern of radiation dose (radiomorphology) in ...

Advanced head and neck cancer: Long-term results of chemo-radiotherapy, complications and induction of second malignancies [PDF]

, 2001
Background: Chemo-radiotherapy is superior to radiotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced, inoperable head and neck cancer. The long-term treatment results, the induction of second malignant tumors, and other long-term toxicities are not well defined.
