Self-derived organ attention for unpaired CT-MRI deep domain adaptation based MRI segmentation (2020, background): “Xerostomia or dry mouth is a common debilitating complication in patients with head and neck cancers who receive radiation therapy treatments (Chao et al 2001, Braam et al 2007, Dirix and Nuyts 2010).”
Advances in Radiation Therapy: Conventional to 3D, to IMRT, to 4D, and Beyond (2005, background): “Other investigators using IMRT for head and neck cancers have also reported a low incidence of xerostomia.(62) Importantly, the reduction in xerostomia has been shown to correspond with an improvement in quality of life.”
