Abstract
- Irradiation mucositis is a complication of anticancer therapy. It is regarded as an unavoidable consequence of treatment. Recent studies have shown that this condition is probably a consequence of abnormal Gram negative bacillary carriage in the oral cavity. If this abnormal carriage is avoided then prevention or amelioration of irradiation mucositis may be possible.
