Article Synopsis
- Concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for unresectable locally advanced head and neck cancer, but it can lead to both acute side effects (like skin and throat issues) and long-term effects that can persist for years.
- A study conducted at Christian Medical College analyzed the late-effects from radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer, revealing that salivary gland toxicity was the most prevalent, leading to problems such as dysphagia and dental caries.
- Advances in radiation technology have improved patient outcomes, but there's still a need to carefully manage radiation exposure to normal tissues to minimize adverse effects on quality of life.
Objectives: Ensuring high-quality radiotherapy requires peer-reviewing target volumes. The Royal College of Radiologists recommends peer review specifically for individual target volumes in cases of gynaecological cancers. This study presents the outcomes of implementing an on-demand peer review system for gynaecological cancers within our institute.
