Özet

Aim of the study: Early transient brachial plexopathy following radiotherapy (RT) in patients with head and neck cancer may be underreported and associated with a dose-response. Our purpose was to determine the incidence of early transient radiation-induced brachial plexopathy (RIBP) in patients receiving primary RT (+/- chemotherapy) for locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC).
