Treatment-related toxicity, utility and patient-reported outcomes of head and neck cancer patients treated with proton therapy: A longitudinal study
The present study presented the impact of toxicity on patient's utility over time and further confirmed it with the results of patient-reported symptom and function. This study provided estimation of each radiation-related toxicity, including xerostomia, dysphagia, mucositis, and dermatitis, which could contribute to the value assessment through economic evaluations of PT.
