Can the impact of hearing impairments be modelled?

abstract：CONCLUSIONS:Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with carboplatin and uracil-f tegafur (UFT) seems to be a promising and appropriate regimen for patients with poor performance status (PS) with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). OBJECTIVE:We designed a regimen based on divided low-dose admin...
