Radiation‐induced Xerostomia in patients with head and neck cancer: Pathogenesis, impact on quality of life, and management
Abstract
Background.: Xerostomia is a common, debilitating complication of radiation therapy (RT) for head and neck cancer. This article reviews the pathogenesis of radiation‐induced xerostomia, its impact on quality of life (QOL), and treatment options. Methods.: Virtually all patients undergoing RT for head and neck cancers have xerostomia, which causes oral discomfort and pain, increased dental caries and oral infection, and difficulty speaking and swallowing. This significantly impairs QOL and can compromise nutritional intake and continuity of cancer therapy. The literature describing pathogenesis, impact on QOL of radiation‐induced xerostomia, and preventive and interventional therapies was reviewed. Results.: Current management strategies include stringent dental and oral hygiene; parotid‐sparing radiation techniques to prevent or minimize xerostomia; and pharmacotherapies, such as salivary substitutes and sialogogues. Future strategies may include advanced three‐dimensional intensity‐modulated RT techniques, salivary gland transfer, newer sialogogues, and gene therapy. Conclusions.: New treatment approaches to xerostomia from RT for head and neck cancer may result in significant improvement in patient QOL. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 26: 796–807, 2004

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
