Our aim was to examine the relationship between mouthrinse matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and whole albumin levels (AL) relative to oral mucositis (OM) in allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) patients. Mouthrinse vertebrate collagenase levels are positively correlated with connective tissue
Gastrointestinal (GI) mucositis is a common side effect of intense chemotherapy to prepare patients for hematopoietic SCT. Measuring intestinal damage objectively remains difficult, and clinicians often rely on albumin levels as an indicator of GI mucositis, but citrulline might be a more specific
OBJECTIVE
To investigate if oral cryotherapy during myeloablative therapy may influence frequency and severity of mucositis, nutritional status and infection rate after bone marrow transplantation.
BACKGROUND
Patients treated with intensive myeloablative treatment before bone marrow transplantation
Melphalan-based autologous stem cell transplant (Mel-ASCT) is a standard therapy for multiple myeloma, but is associated with severe oral mucositis (OM). To identify predictors for severe OM, we studied 381 consecutive newly diagnosed myeloma patients who received Mel-ASCT. Melphalan was given at
OBJECTIVE
Oral mucositis induced by radiation or chemoradiation can compromise the quality of life of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. The present study was designed to evaluate the preventive effects of elemental diet (ED), Elental®, on radiotherapy- or chemoradiotherapy-induced
It is unknown what feeding strategy to use during chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal mucositis, which causes weight loss and possibly malabsorption. To study the absorptive capacity of amino acids during mucositis, we determined the plasma availability of enterally administered amino acids (AA),
Uncontrolled clinical trials have shown that parenteral administration of GM-CSF reduces the frequency of chemotherapy-induced mucositis. The mechanism of this effect could be related to acceleration of haematopoiesis and/or increase in functional activation of WBC. We conducted a double-blind,
Mucositis is a known complication of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). This study retrospectively reviewed 191 patients with lymphoid malignancies undergoing ASCT following a uniform mobilising regimen of etoposide (VP-16)/granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and a uniform high-dose
OBJECTIVE
Chemotherapy (CT)-associated oral mucositis (OM) is one of the most debilitating and painful side effects in oncology patients, with limited effective management options. During CT, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are upregulated, causing damage in mucosal and submucosal tissues, and
OBJECTIVE
Mucositis is a common and troublesome adverse effect of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, often causing treatment interruption and compromising treatment outcome. We sought to identify predictors of mucositis in southern Indian patients treated for gastroesophageal carcinoma.
METHODS
Patients
BACKGROUND
One of the most distressing complications of head and neck cancer patients on chemoradiotherapy is mucositis. There is no proper tool to predict its occurrence in these patients.
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to develop a risk-scoring system to predict probable incidence and severity
OBJECTIVE
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) to treat multiple myeloma (MM) and other cancers carries the risk of oral mucositis (OM) with sequelae including impaired nutritional and fluid intake, pain, and infectious complications. As a result of these problems,
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the value of sucralfate mouth washings in prevention of radiation-induced mucositis.
METHODS
Forty patients with head and neck cancer were randomized to use either sucralfate mouth washing 1 g six times daily during irradiation (n = 20) or to placebo washing (n = 20). Mouth
OBJECTIVE
Oral mucositis induced by radiation or chemoradiation can cause devastating quality of life issues for patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of a traditional Japanese medicine-Hangeshashinto (TJ-14)-for (chemo)radiation-induced
BACKGROUND
Lower alimentary tract mucositis is a serious complication of chemotherapy. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence, risk factors, and mortality of lower alimentary tract mucositis in a homogeneous population of patients with newly diagnosed myeloma receiving similar
