Abstract
|
|
|
|
Oral complications, such as mucositis, infection, or xerostomia, are common in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy. These complications can cause pain, leading to increased consumption of analgesics, poor oral intake, malnutrition, and even a need for parenteral nutrition. Moreover, they can sometimes interrupt the treatment plan. This review focuses on the proper management and prevention of oral complications that are common in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
