Hak Choy Springer Science & Business Media, ٠٤/١٢/٢٠٠٢ - 420 من الصفحات Internationally recognized experts in cancer biology and clinical research review the present status of the multimodality approach to the management of solid tumors and speculate [books.google.com]
Seven abstracts were retrieved; 2 discussed stomatitis prevention (1 as a “trial-in-progress” and 1 presented results of the trial); the other 5 abstracts presented meta-analyses or reviews of previous clinical studies to assess the risk, incidence, management [mdedge.com]
Onset of mucositis was defined in the present trial as the time when the patient showed first evidence of mucositis. [cancerjournal.net]
Differential Diagnosis and Treatment Mucositis is distinguishable from other forms of inflammatory disorders in terms of: – causality – clinical presentation/lab findings – severity – treatment The presence and severity of radiation- or chemotherapy [slideshare.net]
A genetic predisposition is present, and there is a positive family history in about one third of patients with RAS. [nature.com]

Glycerol Spray for Management of Psychotropic Drug-Induced Xerostomia Xerostomia (mouth dryness) often occurs as an unwanted effect of psychotropic drugs. [medlife.pharmacy]
Pilocarpine Troches for Xerostomia Pilocarpine is indicated for the treatment of xerostomia secondary to radiation therapy of the head and neck. Pilocarpine is a cholinergic agent that stimulates residual-functioning exocrine glands. [pottershouserx.com]

- Sore Mouth
A sore mouth may occur if radiation therapy includes the mouth or if chemotherapy is given at the same time as radiation therapy. Painful mouth sores, ulcers in the mouth and mouth infections can also develop. [cancer.ca]
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that compared a commercially produced pilocarpine tablet, a compounded pilocarpine lozenge, and placebo, patients who received the compounded lozenge reported the most improvement in oral dryness, sore mouth [medlife.pharmacy]

Mucositis is a medical term that is used to refer to mouth sores, oral mucositis, or esophagitis. It can range in severity from a red, sore mouth and/or gums to open sores that can cause a patient to be unable to eat. [oncolink.org]
- Aphthous Stomatitis
Aphthous stomatitis treatment Medical treatment is usually not necessary for aphthous stomatitis, unless the ulcers are severe (larger than one centimeter or lasting longer than two weeks). [encyclopedia.com]
Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. vesicular stomatitis Aphthous ulcer. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Most ulcers are due to local causes such as trauma or burns, but recurrent aphthous stomatitis and cancer must always be considered. [nature.com]
stomatitis (most commonly, minor aphthae) Head and neck radiation *Rare. [merckmanuals.com]
- Halitosis
[…] adverse consequences, including difficulty tasting, chewing, and swallowing, which results in compromised nutrition; impaired sleep; esophageal dysfunction; intolerance to medications; increased incidence of glossitis, angular chelitiss, candidiasis, and halitosis [dimensionsofdentalhygiene.com]
Bad breath (halitosis) may also accompany the condition. Stomatitis affects all age groups, from the infant to the elderly. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
- Oral Bleeding
Periodontal infection (gingivitis and periodontitis) increases risk for oral bleeding; healthy tissues should not bleed. Discontinuing dental brushing and flossing can increase risk for gingival bleeding, oral infection, and bacteremia. [cancer.gov]

Treatment
Radiation to the head and neck and chemotherapy for any malignancy can cause oral side effects so debilitating that patients may tolerate only lower, less effective doses of cancer treatment, may postpone scheduled treatments, or may discontinue treatment [colgate.com]
This includes oral care and patient education prior to and following oncology treatment. Once cancer is diagnosed, patients and their families are presented with many treatment options. [dimensionsofdentalhygiene.com]

The symptoms of esophagitis and mucositis may occur during the second or third week of radiation therapy, and gradually increase during treatment. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis for the resolution of stomatitis is based upon the cause of the problem. Many mouth ulcers are benign and resolve without specific treatment. [encyclopedia.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for the resolution of stomatitis is based on the cause of the problem. Many local factors can be modified, treated, or avoided. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Dentition that exhibits poor prognosis and is within high-dose fields should be extracted before radiation therapy begins. [cancer.gov]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology of mIAS The pathophysiology mIAS is incompletely understood. [mdedge.com]
Released on August 08, 2017 Context: Despite numerous proposed mechanisms, no definitive pathophysiology underlying radiotherapy-induced fatigue (RIF) has been established. [biomodels.com]
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]
The ulcers may occur on the lip, buccal mucosa, palate, or tongue. 3 The pathophysiology of mucositis includes initial inflammation with disruption of the epithelial cells followed by damage to the subepithelial layers of mucosa caused by free radicals [practicalpainmanagement.com]
