Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Clinical Question: In patients receiving treatment for cancer, does oral cryotherapy prevent oral mucositis?

Bottom Line: Oral cryotherapy is effective for the prevention of oral mucositis in adults receiving fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for solid cancers, and for the prevention of severe oral mucositis in adults receiving high-dose melphalan-based chemotherapy before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
