4 Fig. 3 Treatment gap analysis. Synthesis of the solutions for addressing xerostomia in H&N cancer patients undergoing RT. The solutions are summarized in a graph showing the effectiveness of the solution at treating or preventing xerostomia versus the cost per treatment. The solutions are categorized according to the following criteria: treatment versus prevention and preclinical versus clinical stage. Relative clinical availability is also estimated and represented as bubble size. Highlighted by the dashed circle is the treatment gap, which corresponds to the area of greatest innovation opportunity. Reprinted from Ref. [49] with permission from Elsevier.
