Exercise therapy for trismus in head and neck cancer.
The aim of this study was to analyze retrospectively effects of exercise therapy on trismus related to head and neck cancer or as a consequence of its treatment, and to compare these effects with trismus not related to head and neck cancer. Medical records of patients referred to the department of physical therapy with the diagnosis trismus were retrieved and analyzed. Data of 27 patients with ...
متن کاملSalvage Neck Dissection after Chemoradiation in Head and Neck Cancer: Practice and Pitfalls
Locally advanced head and neck cancers are usually treated with concurrent chemoradiation. The residual nodes after chemoradiation in such patients are a common scenario, but the further investigation and treatment options in form of neck dissection are still not very clear. This review focuses on the current state of available evidence in literature for management of such patients and directs ...
متن کاملLong-term hearing loss after chemoradiation in patients with head and neck cancer.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to determine whether concomitant chemoradiation (CCRT)-induced hearing loss is progressive over time or not. STUDY DESIGN Long-term (LT) follow-up study. METHODS Between 1999 and 2004, 158 patients with head and neck cancer were treated with intravenous (IV) CCRT (n = 80) or intraarterial CCRT (n = 78).

متن کاملDose Distribution Analysis of Rapid Arc and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Plan in Head and Neck Cancer
Introduction: Globally, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is considered as highly precise and accurate method of radiotherapy planning. This technique amplifies spatial dose distribution conformity by modulating the intensity of radiation beams in each sub-volume. Additionally, it can reduces the dose to surrounding critical organs and deliver the planned dose to targets with the nom...
متن کاملRole of Altered Fractionation & Chemoradiation in Head and Neck Cancer
Dividing a dose into a number of fractions spares normal tissues because of repair of SLD between dose fractions and repopulation of cells if the overall time is sufficiently long. At the same time dividing a dose into a number of fractions increases the damage to the tumor because of reoxygenation and reassortment of cells into radiosensitive phases of the cell cycles between dose fractions. T...
