Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Incidence and severity of radiation induced oral mucositis | The patients will be followed up during the whole period of radiation and up to six weeks after radiation to evaluate the incidence and severity of radiation induced mucositis. Severity will be assessed by the oncologist using radiotherapy oncology group criteria (RTOG criteria) | 4 months | |
Secondary | Time to develop grade III or IV radiation induced oral mucositis: | For each patient, the time from the start of radiotherapy till the development of grade III or IV RIOM will be recorded. | 4 months |
