Abstract
The NS-21 was well tolerated and effective for the maintenance of skin moisture; however, there was no statistically significant reduction in the risk of acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) or concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) when compared with HNC patients in the control group.
