Abstract

Radiation therapy (RT) is used widely for the treatment of head and neck tumors. The protection of organs at risk (OAR) in the head and neck region is crucial in cancer survivors. This chapter will outline the pathophysiology of radiation-induced toxicity, biologic and clinical principles of head and neck tolerance to radiation, and the treatment strategies of both acute and chronic radiation-induced head and neck toxicity.
