Effect of immunonutrition during concurrent chemoradiotherapy on acute oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients: A prospective randomized study
IN supplementation during CCRT did not result in statistically significant reductions in acute oral mucositis and other radiation toxicities. Further research with larger sample sizes, compliance monitoring, and optimized supplementation protocols is warranted to better understand the potential benefits of IN.
