Oral complications of local and systemic cancer treatment
Carl
1995, Current Opinion in Oncology
Mucositis is a common dose-limiting complication in patients receiving systemic
cancer chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, and local irradiation for
tumors in the head and neck area. In addition, mucosal ulcerations may become
portals for the invasion of pathogens that in turn may be life threatening. Oral
environment changes and salivary gland dysfunction cause an increase in dental
caries and periodontal disease in dentulous patients who receive radiation
therapy in and around the oral cavity.
