Radiation-Induced Temporomadibular Joint Lesion in Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Abstract

Abstract

Objective To observe radiation induced temporomandibular joint lesion in the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and to evaluate its correlative factors. Methods From January 1999 to December 2000,158 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma received radical conventional radiotherapy .The total dose of the nasopharynx were (65～80)Gy and the overall treatment time were 50～60 days. It was evaluated the temporomadibular joint lesion by SOMA s criterion. The relationship of total doses, age of the patients, ...
