Patients’ demographics
Acute mucositis and oral bacterial infections were not observed in any
of the patients prior to commencing the therapy. From the 20 patients,
one patient abandoned the measurements and another one died when RCT was
being conducted. All other patients (n=12 pT3N2aM0-8 males and 4
females, n=6 pT3N2cM0-4 males and 2 females) finished the study.
The mean age of the patients included in the evaluation was 57 (SD±7),
and the d-Test value (d=0,2189) indicated that the analysis was slightly
affected by the age distribution (mean and standard deviation).
