Mouth soreness trial for nasopharyngeal cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to map mouth and throat sores caused by radiation therapy. It focuses on pain when swallowing to guide treatment, which may help reduce discomfort during cancer treatment.
