Sinopsis

Radiation therapy for oral cancer requires both precise targeting and multidisciplinary coordination. Christopher Willey, M.D., and Michael Case, D.M.D., explain how close collaboration between radiation oncology and dental care helps prevent complications such as osteoradionecrosis and also minimizes treatment delays. They describe how pretreatment dental evaluations, oral hygiene protocols, and coordinated planning improve outcomes.
