Expert Opin Pharmacother
April 2024
Lifespan Cancer Institute, Providence, RI, USA.
Introduction: The introduction of targeted therapy and immunotherapy has tremendously changed the clinical outcomes and prognosis of cancer patients. Despite innovative pharmacological therapies and improved radiotherapy (RT) techniques, patients continue to suffer from side effects, of which oral mucositis (OM) is still the most impactful, especially for quality of life.
Areas Covered: We provide an overview of current advances in cancer pharmacotherapy and RT, in relation to their potential to cause OM, and of the less explored and more recent literature reports related to the best management of OM.

Article Synopsis
- Biologic agents are new treatments for autoimmune and chronic diseases, but not enough is known about their effects on dental health.
- Researchers looked at 2,080 articles, finding 51 that talked about oral problems caused by these treatments, like swelling, sores, and infections.
- More studies are needed to understand how these drugs can affect teeth and gums better, since the information so far mainly comes from individual case reports.

Article Synopsis
- - Effective communication between clinicians and pathologists is crucial for accurate diagnoses and quality patient care, yet there is a notable lack of research specifically focusing on this topic in oral and maxillofacial pathology.
- - A narrative review was conducted, assessing the quality of communication between clinicians and oral pathologists, revealing no existing studies on communication adequacy or necessary skills in oral diagnosis.
- - The review suggests that improving communication could involve strategies like collaboration, clear reporting, communication skills training, and prioritizing patient-centered care, along with a call for further research to enhance practices in this field.
Oral epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma: Report of a rare case and literature review of a distinct variant of rhabdomyosarcoma.
Oral Oncol
January 2022
Oral Pathology Unit, Department of Clinic and Preventive Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare type of cancer with limited documented cases, prompting researchers to investigate an unusual instance in a 33-year-old male with a mass in the gums.
- The patient experienced progressive growth of the mass over three months and after undergoing chemotherapy and surgery, unfortunately faced local and distant recurrences, ultimately leading to his death 22 months post-diagnosis.
- The condition is still not well understood in terms of causes and treatment options, and it's unclear whether this type is a distinct subtype or just a variation of other rhabdomyosarcoma forms.

Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced sarcoidosis-like reaction (DISR) mimics sarcoidosis in both appearance and symptoms, typically affecting the lungs, lymph nodes, and skin.
- An unusual case of DISR was reported in a 63-year-old woman undergoing treatment for rheumatoid arthritis with adalimumab, who developed ulcerative nodules in the oral cavity.
- After a biopsy confirmed DISR and discontinuation of the drug, the patient's lesions fully resolved within 14 months, highlighting the need to consider DISR in oral granulomatous conditions, especially in patients on TNF-α antagonists.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers looked at how well some new medicines help people with Sjögren's syndrome (SS), which can cause problems in the mouth.
- They found that one drug, Rituximab, helps improve salivary gland function, while another called Abatacept may help with both dry mouth and saliva production.
- Overall, Rituximab shows strong benefits, but more studies are needed for other drugs to see how effective they are, and it's important to think about potential side effects too.
