Patients aged 18 years or older with breast or head and neck cancer and plans for fractionated radiation therapy (\u226515 fractions) with curative intent were enrolled via convenience sampling.

All 76 patients developed ARD: 47 (61.8%) with grade 1, 22 (28.9%) with grade 2, and 7 (9.2%) with grade 3. The prevalence of baseline nasal SA colonization was higher among patients who developed grade 2 or higher ARD compared with those who developed grade 1 ARD (10 of 29 [34.5%] vs 6 of 47 [12.8%];\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.02, by \u03c7\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n test).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In this cohort study, baseline nasal SA colonization was associated with development of grade 2 or higher ARD in patients with breast or head and neck cancer.
