Abstract
Background: The use of magnetolaser and local hypoxia during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer leads to decrease in acute toxicity. Purpose: To reduce the severity of acute toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer using the developed methods of prevention. Material and Methods: A prospective randomized study included 120 patients with head and neck cancer. A comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the three developed methods of prevention was carried out in comparison with traditional prevention. Results: The use of magnetolaser, local hypoxia and their combination led to decrease in the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines as compared with the control group. This corresponded to a lesser degree of acute toxicity in the main groups. Conclusions: The use of magnetolaser and/or hypoxia reduces acute toxicity, which is confirmed by changes in immunity parameters.
