Taste Loss and Recovery Following Radiation Therapy

Abstract: Previous investigators have reported deficits in taste acuity in patients following radiation therapy for oropharyngeal cancer. In the present longitudinal study, 13 patients (mean age = 51.6 yrs) received conventional or hyperfractionated radiotherapy (63-76.8 Gy) for primary tumors of the oropharynx. One or both parotid glands and at least two-thirds of the tongue were included in the radiation field. Smell recognition and taste detection thresholds were determined at baseline, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year … Show more

“…After RT, taste sensitivity usually recovers within several months after the resolution of mucosal damage. 184,209,211,[213][214][215][216][217][218] However, reduced taste sensitivity may continue indefinitely. Persisting taste loss may be due to damage to taste receptors 214,219 and hyposalivation.…”

“…Veränderungen oder Verluste des Schmecksinns werden bei fast allen Patienten beschrieben, insbesondere wenn Bestrahlungsdosen über 20 Gy appliziert werden [2]. Eine Erholung stellt sich normalerweise innerhalb von 6-24 Monaten ein [4,5]. Bestrahlungen unter IG-oder IMRT-Bedingungen ermöglichen gezielte Dosisreduktionen der Risikoorgane mit dem Ziel der Vermeidung von Nebenwirkungen [6][7][8][9].…”

“…Estas pueden ser provocadas por un traumatismo craneal (Landis & Lacroix, 2006), cirugía en alguna vía aferente (Landis & Lacroix;Michael & Raut, 2007), medicamentos (Sandow et al, 2006) o radioterapia (Nelson, 1998). También se describe una ageusia específica, donde no se percibe el gusto de una sustancia en particular; ésta alteración posee un claro componente genético (Lugaz et al, 2002;Klasser et al, 2008).…”
