Coming soonPrevention of radiation therapy-induced mucositis refers to prophylactic clinical strategies aimed at averting or mitigating acute mucosal injury caused by ionizing radiation, most commonly involving the oral and oropharyngeal tract during treatment for head and neck malignancies.
The condition arises when therapeutic radiation damages rapidly dividing basal epithelial cells and induces oxidative stress, triggering a biological cascade of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tissue necrosis, and loss of mucosal barrier integrity.
Clinically, it manifests as painful erythema, edema, and deep pseudomembranous ulcerations that can lead to severe dysphagia, dehydration, malnutrition, secondary infections, and unplanned interruptions in oncologic therapy.
