The prevalence of xerostomia has been reported to be from 73.5% to 93%. Despite the use of techniques such as sparing the parotid glands and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, xerostomia continues to be cited by patients as a major cause of decreased quality of life (QoL). | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/9968 | ISSN: | 09598049 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0959-8049(16)31576-3 | Rights: | © Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology Bank of Cyprus Oncology Center Cyprus University of Technology PASYKAF—The Cyprus Association of Cancer Patients and Friends |
