摘要
The head and neck (H&N) region is among the most intricate and functional part of our anatomy. Major functional nerves and blood vessels with importance that affect the entire body emanate from the base of skull. Brachytherapy plays an important role as a single modality therapy in early cancer of the lip and oral cavity and a supplemental role in the pharynx or in advanced or recurrent disease. Morbidity in the H&N is intensely personal and disabling. Its avoidance is critical in determining the success or failure of a treatment program, and it is essential to preservation of quality of life. This article summarizes the current literature regarding morbidity related to H&N brachytherapy to aid patients and physicians to achieve optimal outcomes. (C) 2020 American Brachytherapy Society.
