Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | World journal of surgical oncology, 17 (Art N° 57) | Abstract: | The aim of this Letter to the Editor was to report some methodological shortcomings in the recently published article “Application of red light phototherapy in the treatment of radioactive dermatitis in patients with head and neck cancer” by Zhang et al. There are some issues regarding the incomplete photobiomodulation (PBM) parameters, the chosen outcome measures, and some missing reference articles. In conclusion, the results of this study should be interpreted with caution and further research is necessary. | Notes: | bijns, J (reprint author), Hasselt Univ, Fac Med & Life Sci, Martelarenlaan 42, B-3500 Hasselt, Belgium. jolien.robijns@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | Photobiomodulation; Acute radiodermatitis; Head and neck cancer; Radiotherapy; Red light | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/28114 | e-ISSN: | 1477-7819 | DOI: | 10.1186/s12957-019-1603-y | ISI #: | 000462229900002 | Rights: | © The Author(s). 2019 Open Access This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made.
