A Longitudinal Metagenomic Comparative Analysis of Oral Microbiome Shifts in Patients Receiving Proton Radiation Versus Photon Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer

A Longitudinal Metagenomic Comparative Analysis of Oral Microbiome Shifts in Patients Receiving Proton Radiation Versus Photon Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer

Introduction: Due to the radiation-sparing effects on salivary gland acini, changes in the composition of the oral microbiome may be a driver for improved outcomes in patients receiving proton radiation with potentially worse outcomes in patients exposed to photon radiation therapy. To date, a head...
