Salivary Amylase as a Predictive Marker for Radiation-Induced Salivary Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer: A Pilot Study

Background: Reports correlating changes in salivary flow rate and amylase with radiation dose to parotid glands and development of salivary dysfunction for Head and Neck cancers (HNC) are lacking. In the current study, an attempt was made at understanding this.Method: This was a prospective study ca...
