Therapeutic efficacy by recombinant human granulocyte/monocyte-colony stimulating factor on mucositis occurring in patients with oral and oropharynx tumors treated with curative radiotherapy: a multicenter open randomized phase III study.

Methods: Mucositis, documented by a five-grade scale, was defined in patients with tumors of the head-neck.
