oral mucositis, chemotherapy, cancer patients, periodontal disease, mucosal immunity, supportive care, photobiomodulation, cryotherapy, dental screeningAbstract
Cancer treatment, particularly cytotoxic chemotherapy and targeted therapy, is associated with a high incidence of oral complications such as mucositis, xerostomia, stomatitis, periodontal inflammation, and taste alterations. These complications can significantly impact patients’ quality of life and interfere with oncological treatment protocols.
