Systematic Review of Late Dental Effects Following Head and Neck Radiation Therapy in Childhood Cancer Survivors
There is a clear need for standardized definitions, assessment methods, grading criteria, and data reporting for late dental AEs in childhood head and/or neck cancer survivors. Accurate documentation of RT regimens and pretreatment dental status is essential to support dose minimization strategies, tailored patient education, and long-term dental follow-up, ultimately improving survivorship care.
