ABSTRACT
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common head and neck malignant tumors. A series of oral complications caused by radiotherapy, such as xerostomia, oral mucositis, limitation of mouth opening and radiation-related caries, have greatly affected the quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy. In this study, related studies on the preventive measures of radiation-related caries caused by radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in recent years were reviewed, aiming to provide some guidance and theoretical basis for reducing the incidence of radiation-related caries and improving the quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy.
