Results of the assessments of oral mucositis using the national cancer and dysphagia using the functional outcome swallowing scale for staging oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Assessment Method	Ti	T1	T2	T3	T4	T5
FOSS scale	2	2	1	1	0	0
NCI scale	2	2	1	0	0	0

Ti = before treatment, T1 = after 24 h of the first session, T2 = after 24 h of the second session, T3 = 24 h after the third session, T4 = 24 h after the fourth session, T5 = 24 h after the fifth session, FOSS = functional outcome swallowing scale for staging oropharyngeal dysphagia, NCI= national cancer institute. Oral mucositis measurements were made according to the National Cancer Institute.
