The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of low-power laser on the prevention of mucositis, xerostomia and pain as a result of chemotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Unfortunately, we can conclude that the interventions presented in this thesis did not lead to a decrease in the severity of mucositis in rats. [rug.nl]

In patients undergoing chemotherapy at standard doses, oral mucositis generally presents as grades 1 and 2 rather than grades 3 and 4. [touchoncology.com]

• Sore Mouth

  Mucositis is when your mouth or gut is sore and inflamed. It's a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer. It can be very unpleasant, but usually stops in a few weeks. [nhs.uk]

  Clinical trials have demonstrated that Ethyol® can reduce dry mouth and may prevent mouth sores; however, more research is needed to prove the affect of this drug on mouth sores. [news.cancerconnect.com]

Although treatment is available for a small subset of patients suffering from mucositis, the majority rely on pain relief as their only treatment option. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The compliance of TJ-14-treatment was good and side effects from TJ-14 were not observed. [wjon.org]

Prognosis Chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis is a self-limiting condition. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Although breast cancer prognosis has improved dramatically in the last 20 years, a significant number of patients will present the evolution of the disease and most of them will die of this malignancy. [medichub.ro]

GELCLAIR is a bioadherent oral gel that provides effective pain relief by adhering to the mucosal surface of the mouth, soothing oral lesions of various etiologies, including: Oral mucositis (OM)/stomatitis Irritation due to oral surgery Traumatic ulcers [gelclair.com]

Oral mucositis occurs independently of oral mucosal infections of viral and fungal etiology, but it may be exacerbated by such concomitant infections. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In 2011, the FDA cleared episil oral liquid for the management and relief of pain of oral lesions with various etiologies, including oral mucositis/stomatitis which may be caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. [en.wikipedia.org]

Therefore, the question arises if the currently used 5-phase pathophysiological model is correct for gastrointestinal mucositis. [rug.nl]

According to this five-phase model, the intestinal microbiota plays no role in the pathophysiology of mucositis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore, oral mucositis can be a dose-limiting condition, disrupting a patient’s optimal cancer treatment plan and consequentially decreasing their chances of survival. [4] Pathophysiology [ edit ] The pathophysiology of mucositis is complex and multifactorial [en.wikipedia.org]

Because this toxicity clusters with dermatologic toxicities, rather than GI (as is the case with conventional mucositis) toxicities, this suggests that the underlying pathophysiology is likely very different. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The pathobiology of mucositis is complex, and agents that target mechanisms to prevent mucositis or accelerate healing are in high demand. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
