This complication is well-documented in patients who receive radiation therapy to the mouth, jaw and neck, but had not been considered a problem historically for patients receiving whole brain irradiation until recently. Dr. Wang\u2019s study will use modified brain treatment fields that exclude the salivary glands in the hopes of reducing the incidence of dry mouth \u2013 which adversely affects quality of life \u2013 in these patients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Will research ways of reducing dry mouth in patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17304,"featured_media":2801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7,6,36],"class_list":["post-2871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-grant","tag-clinic-research","tag-resident-research","odd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
