This review included 18 primary studies for analysis focusing on acute toxicities including dysphagia, radiation dermatitis, oral mucositis, dysgeusia and alopecia. The conclusion made in this review is that current evidence supports that proton therapy improves acute toxicity profile compared to photon radiotherapy to treat oral and/or oropharyngeal cancer individuals.
