Oral mucositis is a major toxicity associated with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) therapy in the treatment of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and osteosarcoma. This pilot matched case-control study investigated the associations between plasma concentration of MTX at 42 (p-MTX(42h)) and
Side effects or toxicities are frequent, undesirable companions of almost all forms of non-surgical cancer therapy. It is unusual for patients to complete treatment with radiation or chemotherapy without experiencing at least one form of therapy-associated tissue injury or systemic side effect.
The past 10 years have seen substantial advances in molecularly targeted therapies for treatment of patients with cancer; however, chemotherapy will continue to be used. Therefore, the toxic effects of chemotherapy must be readily managed-especially nausea, vomiting, mucositis, and diarrhoea. For
BACKGROUND
Few treatments have the potential to reduce the severity of radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer patients. Some small studies have suggested that organic honey may be a useful preventive treatment.
METHODS
This investigator-initiated double-blind randomized
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common chronic oral mucosal condition of the oral cavity. Investigators in clinical trials have evaluated the effectiveness of Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of RAS. However, the results are conflicting rather than conclusive. To evaluate
Chemoradiotherapy-induced toxicity following unmodified allogeneic marrow grafting was studied. Patients with hematologic malignancy (n = 157) received cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) followed by single or fractionated total body irradiation (TBI); aplastic anemia patients (n = 41) received only
BACKGROUND
PFAPA syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis, Adenitis) is a benign sporadic syndrome of unknown cause and an important diagnosis to consider in the child with recurrent fever and tonsillitis.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the presentation, age of onset, time until diagnosed,
OBJECTIVE
Oral mucositis (OM), the painful inflammation of oropharyngeal tissues, is an economically costly chemotherapy toxicity. Several agents to prevent chemotherapy-induced OM are in development, with most studies conducted among transplantation subjects with a brief well-defined risk period.
This paper aims to remind paediatric clinicians to suspect and confirm 'PFAPA' syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis and cervical Adenitis syndrome). We report two cases of PFAPA syndrome: a 3-year-old healthy boy with atopic rhinitis and a boy aged 8 years 5 months who
OBJECTIVE
The study aimed to compare the use of plain ice, flavoured ice and standard care, to evaluate the effect on mucositis and to determine patients' perceptions of the two forms of oral cryotherapy.
BACKGROUND
Despite evidence that oral cryotherapy is useful in preventing mucositis in patients
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of zinc sulfate supplementation in reducing ofradiation-induced oral mucositis and pharyngitis in head and neck cancer patients.
METHODS
One hundred forty four head and neck patients were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients
This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and quality of life (QoL) measure of transdermal fentanyl (TDF) for moderate-to-severe pain due to oral mucositis caused by chemoradiotherapy in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Patients with NPC who experienced moderate-to-severe oral
VSV-IFNβ-NIS is a novel recombinant oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) with documented efficacy and safety in preclinical murine models of cancer. To facilitate clinical translation of this promising oncolytic therapy in patients with disseminated cancer, we are utilizing a comparative
Oral mucositis (OM) is a frequent and painful sequelae of concomitant chemoradiation (CRT) used for the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC) for which there is no effective intervention. This randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluated the efficacy of a novel, mucoadhesive A review of the use of levamisole in the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis is presented. While various uncontrolled clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness in increasing the time between episodes and shortening the duration of the ulceration, a series of double-blind trials have
