Summary
A new intraoral device, BinkieRT, effectively reduces radiation dose to the oral cavity during intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for oral cancer. This improves patient quality of life by minimizing side effects like mucositis.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiation Oncology
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Radiation therapy is crucial for oral cancer management.
- Radiation-induced mucositis and dysgeusia significantly degrade patient quality of life.
- Intraoral positioning devices aim to reduce radiation exposure to oral structures.
