Article Synopsis
- Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect of cancer treatment, affecting patient quality of life and treatment effectiveness, making its prevention crucial.
- A systematic review analyzed data from various databases, focusing on whether specific topical treatments reduce the onset and severity of OM in cancer patients compared to standard treatments or placebo, leading to a network meta-analysis of 30 clinical trials with over 2500 patients.
- Results indicated that topical sucralfate was the most effective intervention for preventing OM, due to its cytoprotective properties, affordability, ease of use, and safety.
