Abstract
Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are frequently employed in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), causing significant side effects that impair life quality and prognosis by interfering with the cancer treatment regimen. There is a large body of evidence supporting the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM), when used for the prevention and/or treatment of oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer or high-dose chemotherapy regimens. This could enhance patients’ quality of life, adherence to the prescribed cancer therapy, and treatment outcomes while reducing the cost of cancer care and hospitalization.
