Assessment of Olfactory Threshold in Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Malignancies

摘要

Introduction:Radiotherapy is a common treatment modality for patients with head and neck malignancies. As the nose lies within the field of radiotherapy of the head and neck, the olfactory fibers and olfactory receptors may be affected by radiation. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in olfactory threshold in patients with head and neck malignancies who have received radiation to the head and neck.
