Dosimetric parameters predictive of nasolacrimal duct obstruction after carbon-ion radiotherapy for head and neck carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: The incidence and predictive dosimetric parameters for nasolacrimal duct obstruction after carbon-ion radiotherapy were demonstrated in a prospective cohort. These data should help optimize carbon-ion radiotherapy treatments for patients with head and neck tumors. PMID: 31439449 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
