Dental Adverse Effects Following Multimodality Treatment for Head and Neck Rhabdomyosarcoma: Results of a Trans‐Atlantic Multicentre Study
Survivors of HNRMS have higher plaque and gingivitis rates, possibly due to cancer treatment or poor oral hygiene and diet. Next to regular care, additional monitoring of oral health and support of oral hygiene are indicated. Survivors, parents and physicians should be aware of the dental and periodontal risks and ensure proper care is available.
