Intratympanic Dexamethasone Mitigates Radiation-Induced Injury in Middle Ear Mucosa
The study explores a potential preventive approach to radiation-induced otitis media with effusion (RIMOE), a common side effect in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. The researchers investigated whether dexamethasone (DEX) administration before radiation exposure could protect the middle ear and Eustachian tube from radiation damage.
