To observe the protective effect of thermoplastic mask on radiation dermatitis for patients with laryngeal cancer.
Seventy-three patients with laryngeal cancer was recruited in the research and were divided into two group. The test group (38 patients) was treated with opening-window on thermoplastic mask to protect the skin exposure to the radiotherapy. The control group (35 patients) was treated with intact thermoplastic mask. The rate of radio-dermatitis and pain in the skin exposure to the radiotherapy were assessed.
The radio-dermatitis and pain of the skin exposure to the radiotherapy in the test group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05).
The opening-window on thermoplastic mask can decrease the radio-dermatitis for patients with laryngeal cancer.
观察热塑性面罩对喉癌患者放射性皮炎的防护作用。
本研究招募了73例喉癌患者，分为两组。试验组（38例患者）采用热塑性面罩开窗法保护放疗时皮肤受照部位。对照组（35例患者）采用完整热塑性面罩。评估放疗时皮肤受照部位的放射性皮炎发生率及疼痛情况。
试验组放疗时皮肤受照部位的放射性皮炎及疼痛程度明显低于对照组（P<0.05）。
热塑性面罩开窗法可降低喉癌患者的放射性皮炎发生率。
