Coming soonPrevention of chemotherapy-induced mucositis refers to therapeutic strategies aimed at averting or diminishing the severity of inflammatory and ulcerative mucosal injury caused by cytotoxic antineoplastic agents.
This complication primarily compromises the epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal tract, most frequently presenting as oral or intestinal mucositis in cancer patients undergoing moderate-to-high-dose or myeloablative chemotherapy regimens.
Pathophysiologically, cytotoxic exposure disrupts rapid epithelial cell turnover, triggers reactive oxygen species generation, and activates proinflammatory signaling cascades, leading to tissue atrophy, painful ulcerations, and loss of mucosal barrier integrity.
Clinically, preventing this damage reduces severe mucosal pain, secondary systemic infections, compromised nutritional intake, and subsequent antineoplastic dose reductions or delays.
