The effects of concurrent chemoradiation therapy to the base of tongue in a preclinical model

ConclusionsThe current study is the first to describe a preclinical model of CCRT to the head and neck with an emphasis on clinical relevance. Tongue strength decreased at 2 weeks and 5 months post‐CCRT. Tongue displacement increased only at 5 months post‐CCRT. Fibrosis was not detected, implicating alternative causative factors for these findings. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2017 (Source: The Laryngoscope)
