      <Abstract>Treatment of parotid cancer with radiotherapy can lead to hearing loss. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the hearing loss caused by parotid cancer radiotherapy. In this article, a systematic search of Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Scopus, Embase and ProQues to June 2019 including patients with parotid cancer treated with radiotherapy was performed. In total, six studies were included in the meta-analysis. All these articles were follow-up studies and reported the percentage of hearing loss. The percent of hearing loss was 0.25 (95% CI: 0.07, 0.42, I2=91.6%, 6 studies). The publication bias was evaluated using Begg’s and Egger’s tests. P-values of Begg’s and Egger’s tests were 0.497 and 0.262 respectively.&#13;
&#13;
Parotid cancer radiotherapy patients may experience hearing loss. Hence it is recommended in treatment planning, that the hearing structure is drawn as an organ at risk in parotid cancer radiotherapy.</Abstract>
