Oral and dental management of the cancer patient: prevention and treatment of complications

M S Chambers et al. Support Care Cancer. 1995 May.

Abstract

Aggressive cancer therapy places patients at greater risk for oral complications and treatment-related consequences. Unfortunately, prevention and/or treatment of such oral sequelae has become an often overlooked priority of the treatment team. We describe a philosophy of management of the cancer patient that specifically emphasizes the prevention and treatment of oral complications associated with cancer therapy. These concepts and principles are based on treatment protocols and ongoing clinical research at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
