Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Radiation-induced oral mucositis (OM) is one of the most common acute complications for head and neck cancer. Severe OM is associated with radiation treatment breaks, which harms successful tumor management. Radiogenomics studies have indicated that genetic variants are associated with adverse effects of radiotherapy. METHODS: A large-scale genome-wide scan was performed in 1467 nasopharyngeal...
