Abstract: PURPOSE To investigate the predictive significance of hemoglobin (Hb) values in the incidence of radiation-induced trismus (RIT) in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) patients who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (C-CRT). METHODS Data of LA-NPC patients were… read more here.
