What is Usefulness of Honey as an Adjunct in the Radiation Treatment for Head and Neck Cancer: Emphasis on Pharmacological and Mechanism/s of Actions about?
## Background: In the treatment of head and neck cancer (hnc), ionizing radiation is an important modality in achieving curative objectives. however, the effective use of radiation is compromised by the side effects resulting from the damage to the adjacent normal tissue. preclinical studies carried out in the recent past have shown that the age-old dietary agent honey, which also possesses myriad medicinal use, is beneficial for mitigating diverse radiation-induced side effects like mucositis, xerostomia, fatigue, weight loss and promoting healing of refractory wounds. ## Objective: The objective of this memoir is to review the beneficial effects of honey in mitigating radiation-induced side effects in hnc and to emphasize on the underlying mechanisms of action for inducing the beneficial effects. ## Methods: Two authors searched google scholar, pubmed, embase, and the cochrane library for publications up to december 2019 to assess the capability of honey for reducing the severity of radiation-induced ill effects in the treatment of hnc. subsequently, the adjunct pharmacological effects and mechanism/s responsible were also searched for and appropriately used to substantiate the u
