		<description><![CDATA[Source: www.thelancet.com Authors: Dr Christopher M Nutting FRCR et al. Background: Xerostomia is the most common late side-effect of radiotherapy to the head and neck. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can reduce irradiation of the parotid glands. We assessed the hypothesis that parotid-sparing IMRT reduces the incidence of severe xerostomia. Methods: We undertook [...]]]></description>
