Research progress on biomarkers related to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis

open access: yes口腔疾病防治, 2021
Radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis is a common oral complication in tumor patients undergoing radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, which seriously compromises patients’ quality of life and even affects anti-tumor treatment.

Association of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio with severe radiation-induced mucositis in pharyngeal or laryngeal cancer patients: a retrospective study

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2021
Background The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of systemic inflammation that informs clinical decisions regarding recurrence and overall survival in most epithelial cancers.

Mucosal Chemokines [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 2017
Several chemokines have important functions in mucosal immunity. While there are many chemokines, 4 of them (CCL25, CCL28, CXCL14, and CXCL17) are especially important in mucosal immunity because they are homeostatically expressed in mucosal tissues. Of these, only CCL25 and CCL28 have been widely recognized as mucosal chemokines.

Actual duration of patient-reported mucositis: Far longer than 2 to 4 weeks and may be avoidable altogether [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2016
The impression that oral mucositis is a brief 14–28 day-consequence of chemoradiation is misguided. Clinically significant patient-reported oral mucositis may last 46 to 102 days depending on the treatment schedule and the modality used.

Mucosal immunology and models of mucosal HIV infection [PDF]

open access: yesMemórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996
The mucosa associated lymphoid tissue regulates and coordinates immune responses against mucosal pathogens. Mucosal tissues are the major targets exposed to HIV during transmission. In this paper we describe in vitro models of HIV mucosal infection using human explants to investigate target cells within this tissue.

Alteration of the redox state with reactive oxygen species for 5-fluorouracil-induced oral mucositis in hamsters. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Oral mucositis is often induced in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy treatment. It has been reported that oral mucositis can reduce quality of life, as well as increasing the incidence of mortality. The participation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Management of Oral Mucositis in Children With Malignant Solid Tumors

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
IntroductionIn recent years, the use of intensive regimens for the treatment of pediatric cancer has led to a marked improvement in patient survival. However, these treatments are associated with an increase in toxic effects.
