The performance of the predictive models for severe oropharyngeal mucositis established using current oral mucosal contouring method was unsatisfactory in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Whereas the predictive model of a mucosal contouring method based on swallowing-induced breakthrough pain exhibited better overall performance. The aim of this prospective, multicenter, observational study was to further explore the predictive efficacy of this mucosal delineation method for radiation-induced oropharyngeal mucositis in NPC.
