Salivary Gland Hypofunction and Xerostomia in Head and Neck Radiation Patients.

Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Monographs, 2019
BACKGROUND The most manifest long-term consequences of radiation therapy in the head and neck cancer patient are salivary gland hypofunction and a sensation of oral dryness (xerostomia).

Intensity-modulated proton therapy for oropharyngeal cancer reduces rates of late xerostomia

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2021
Background and purpose: To determine rates of xerostomia after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) and identify dosimetric factors associated with xerostomia risk.

“It's the Exact Same Treatment … Except Only 5 Min Away”: A RE‐AIM Evaluation of a Speech‐Language Pathology Shared‐Care Model for Rural Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Challenges accessing post‐treatment speech‐language pathology (SLP) services can add to treatment burden for rural patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate a shared‐care SLP service designed to support local SLP access for patients with HNC, using the RE‐AIM framework.

Xerostomia in primary care: a register-based study of prevalence, medication categories, and associated risk factors

Frontiers in Oral Health
ObjectivesXerostomia, the subjective sensation of oral dryness, is often associated with reduced salivary secretion. Xerostomia is a prevalent side effect to numerous medications but also found associated with aging and female sex.

Incidence and Site‐Specific Risk Factors of Jaw Osteoradionecrosis for Head and Neck Patients in the IMRT/VMAT Era: Evidence From a Large, Hospital‐Based Cohort

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw remains a serious late complication of head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy. Although intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) are expected to reduce ORN risk, large real‐world data in the modern era are limited.

Safe Omission of Postoperative Neck Irradiation in Selected pN0 Patients With Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, the indication for neck irradiation (NI) in pN0 patients remains debatable. We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).

NTCP modeling and dose–volume correlations for acute xerostomia and dry eye after whole brain radiation

Radiation Oncology, 2021
Background Whole brain radiation (WBRT) may lead to acute xerostomia and dry eye from incidental parotid and lacrimal exposure, respectively. We performed a prospective observational study to assess the incidence/severity of this toxicity.

Impact of Oral Cavity Dosimetry on Patient Reported Xerostomia and Dysgeusia in the Setting of Deintensified Chemoradiotherapy

Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2022
Purpose: To determine the relationship between mean oral cavity (OC) dose (treated as a singular organ at risk) to patient reported xerostomia and dysgeusia.

Characterization and Pathogenic Speculation of Xerostomia Associated with COVID-19: A Narrative Review

Dental journal, 2021
Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have become known to present with different oral symptoms. However, xerostomia remains poorly recognized compared with taste dysfunction.

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control
