  • Title: Oral complications of cancer chemotherapy.
    Author: Dreizen S, Bodey GP, Rodriguez V.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1975 Aug; 58(2):75-82. PubMed ID: 1088803.
    Abstract:
    No part of the body reflects the complications of cancer chemotherapy as visibly and vividly as the mouth. The hemorrhagic, infectious, nutritional, cytotoxic, and neurologic signs of drug toxicity are registered in the mouth by changes in the color, character, and continuity of the mucosa. Although some of the complications are an inevitable part of the price of treatment, each constitutes a threat that must be kept within manageable limits.
