Abstract
Authors report oral tongue (OT)-sparing radiotherapy (RT) with tongue-out (TORT) for various virtual primary head and neck cancer (HNC). TORT lowered Dmean to OT by 25 % than non-TORT (22.4 vs 29.4 Gy, p < 0.05); V30 by 65 % (15.2 % vs 43.3 %, p < 0.05) suggesting clinical implications for minimizing post-RT dysgeusia in HNC patients.
作者报告了口腔舌(OT)保留放疗(RT)与舌伸出(TORT)治疗各种虚拟原发性头颈癌(HNC)。侵权行为比非侵权行为降低了对OT的平均值25% (22.4 vs 29.4 Gy, p <;0.05);V30下跌65% (15.2% vs 43.3%, p <;0.05),提示最小化HNC患者rt后认知障碍的临床意义。
