Prevention and Control of Post-Radiotherapy Complications in Head and Neck Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

Radiotherapy is a cornerstone in the management of head and neck cancers, yet it frequently leads to acute and chronic complications that significantly impact patients’ quality of life, functional outcomes, and long-term survivorship. This Special Issue, “Prevention and Control of Post-Radiotherapy Complications in Head and Neck Cancer,” aims to provide comprehensive information for advancing scientific and clinical knowledge on mitigating these adverse effects.

Given the rapid advances in imaging technologies, intraoperative monitoring, biomaterials, regenerative medicine, and AI-driven prediction models, this Special Issue seeks to highlight multidisciplinary solutions that bridge oncology, surgery, radiology, radiation oncology, and biomedical engineering.

By gathering cutting-edge evidence and expert insights, this Special Issue aims to inform clinical practice, guide future research directions, and ultimately improve outcomes for patients suffering from post-radiotherapy complications in head and neck cancer.
