| Abstract: | Abstract. Oral complications associated with cancer therapy may not be inevitable. The intensity and duration can be prevented or alleviated by correcting existing oral-dental pathology and maintaining meticulous oral care. Microbial (bacterial, fungal and viral) assessment not only allows appropriate documentation of mucositis versus mucosal infection but directs therapeutic treatment. |
