Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Head and neck cancer (HNC), predominantly head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), poses a significant health burden globally. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has improved outcomes in HNC; however, radiation-induced toxicities, particularly oral mucositis and dermatitis, remain critical concerns. Genetic variations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TGF-β1 gene...
