Mucositis Oral: Actualización en el Diagnóstico, Prevención y Tratamiento

Abstract: RESUMEN: La mucositis oral (MO) es la reacción secundaria aguda más frecuente en la cavidad oral y tracto gastrointestinal en pacientes oncológicos sometidos a quimioterapia o radioterapia de cabeza y cuello que incide negativamente en la calidad de vida del paciente. Su tratamiento requiere de un manejo multidisciplinario con el objetivo de minimizar la incidencia y severidad de esta patología. El desconocimiento parcial respecto de su etiopatogenia imposibilita la realización de protocolos para el manejo de … Show more

“…Oral mucositis (OM) is one of the most common complications of non-surgical cancer treatments, which results from chemotherapy (CT) and/or radiotherapy (RT) 1 . This pathology is characterized by complications such as erythema, edema, oral ulcerations, dysphagia, odynophagia, taste alterations, phonation difficulties, and pain, among other manifestations, with pain being of high importance, as a result of analgesic and/or nutritional requirements, which entail great impacts on quality of life due to a higher risk of infections associated with the release of free radicals, which induce the proliferation of microorganisms and bacterial pathogens that enhance the process of inflammation and epithelial degradation [2][3][4][5][6][7] .…”

“…La mucositis oral (MO) es una de las complicaciones más comunes en los tratamientos oncológicos no quirúrgicos, producto de la quimioterapia (QT) y/o radioterapia (RT) 1 . Esta patología se caracteriza por presentar complicaciones como: eritema, edema, ulceraciones orales, disfagia, odinofagia, alteraciones del gusto, dificultades de fonación y dolor entre otras manifestaciones, siendo el dolor de gran importancia, producto del requerimiento analgésico y/o nutricional que conlleva a grandes impactos sobre la calidad de vida a causa de los mayores riesgos de infecciones asociadas a la liberación de radicales libres, que inducen la proliferación de microorganismos y patógenos bacterianos potenciadores del proceso de inflamación y degradación epitelial [2][3][4][5][6][7] .…”
