About this trial
The aim of this feasibility, prospective, single-center trial is to compare an intra-oral Photobiomodulation (PBM) via the Caremin650TM device (NeoMedLight) and a transcutaneous PBM via the ATP 38® device (Swiss Bio Innov) in patients treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for cancer of the oropharynx or oral cavity. PBM session will be carried out first at the rate of two sessions per week for preventive purposes, and then, in case of occurence of grade 1 mucositis, three sessions per week with curative purpose.
