Evaluating the supportive care costs of severe radiochemotherapy‐induced mucositis and pharyngitis

Few studies have examined the costs of supportive care for radiochemotherapy‐induced mucosits/pharyngitis among patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) or lung cancers despite the documented negative clinical impact of these complications.
