Abstract:
Salivary gland damnification is one of the most common complication in head and neck cancer radiotherapy.Because of their unique anatomical positions,salivary glands usually receive high irradiation dose.Studies on radiation damage and dysfunction of salivary glands include injury mechanisms,relationship between dosimetrics and volumn changes and secretion,as well as prevention and treatment of damage.
