  • Title: [Oral management for cancer patients].
    Author: Kishimoto H, Shudo A.
    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 2013 Dec; 40(13):2481-4. PubMed ID: 24335358.
    Abstract:
    Chemotherapy and radiotherapy administered to cancer patients can be harmful because of their effect on normal cells as well as cancer cells, and cause many adverse events. The oral cavity is one of the sites most vulnerable to the direct and indirect effects of cancer therapy. Severe adverse events of the oral cavity can not only reduce a patient's QOL, but also disrupt cancer treatment. We discuss the concept of oral management by maintenance of the oral environment.
