Report on a retrospective study testing personalized 3D-printed intraoral stents to improve setup stability and reduce functional toxicity during radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer.
Key Takeaways
- Personalized 3D‑printed intraoral stents significantly reduced patient-reported xerostomia
- Use of the stents decreased interfractional geometric variability of mobile organs at risk
- Dosimetric analysis showed lower mean and maximum inner ear doses with stent use
