Oral pseudomembranous candidiasis, herpes simplex virus-1 infection, and oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mouthwash.
KGF is currently being evaluated in clinical trials to test its ability to ameliorate severe oral mucositis (OM) that results from cancer chemoradiotherapy.
Patients who are scheduled to receive conditioning regimens containing TBI, have a pretransplant body mass index >or= 25, or carry the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase 677 TT genotype should be considered at greater risk of developing oral mucositis following HCT.
A secondary purpose was to assess the effectiveness of molecular biology methods for measuring TNF-alpha concentrations in plasma, saliva, and buccal epithelial cells in patients with oral mucositis undergoing HSCT.
In 2005, palifermin [recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor (KGF)] was approved to decrease the incidence and duration of severe oral mucositis in patients with hematologic malignancies receiving myelotoxic therapy requiring hematopoietic stem cell support.
Prevention of radiation-induced oral mucositis after adenoviral vector-mediated transfer of the keratinocyte growth factor cDNA to mouse submandibular glands.
Compared with blank or vehicle-treated hamsters, the irradiated mucosa treated with phenylbutyrate had significantly lower oxidative stress and tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression and less severe oral mucositis of a shorter duration.
Among other clinical and genetic factors, polymorphisms of CYP2B6 genes that interfere with cyclophosphamide metabolism were associated with OM (recipient CYP2B6(*)4; P=0.0067), HC (recipient CYP2B6(*)2; P=0.03) and VOD (donor CYP2B6(*)6; P=0.03).
Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of recombinant human intestinal trefoil factor oral spray for prevention of oral mucositis in patients with colorectal cancer who are receiving fluorouracil-based chemotherapy.
Oral mucositis were detected in 78.7% (n=37) of the patients and significantly related to the MDR-1 CT genotype (p=0.042), as confirmed by logistic regression analysis.
The correlation between residual DSBs and the severity of acute reactions demonstrated that residual γ-H2AX foci in head-and-neck cancer patients increased with the severity of oral mucositis and skin reaction.
Oral mucositis were detected in 78.7% (n=37) of the patients and significantly related to the MDR-1 CT genotype (p=0.042), as confirmed by logistic regression analysis.
Our investigation shows, for the first time, that patients with the XRCC1399Arg/Gln genotype were more likely to experience severe acute dermatitis and oral mucositis.
In addition, genetic linkage disequilibrium existed in XRCC1 polymorphisms for >grade 2 oral mucositis and skin reaction indicating the complex inheritance pattern.
In addition, genetic linkage disequilibrium existed in XRCC1 polymorphisms for >grade 2 oral mucositis and skin reaction indicating the complex inheritance pattern.
Direct correlation of heterozygous and mutant alleles with acute reactions as well as haplotype correlation revealed NBN variants to be of predictive significance in analysing oral mucositis prior to radiotherapy.

Specifically, KGF is currently being evaluated in clinical trials sponsored by Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) to test its ability to ameliorate severe oral mucositis (OM) that results from cancer chemoradiotherapy.
Our study suggests that the Ku70 c.1781G> T polymorphism may be a susceptibility factor for radiation-induced oral mucositis in Chinese nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
No association was found between Ku70 (c.-1310C> G), Ku80 (c.2099-2408G> A, c.*841G> A), DNA-PKcs (c.2888 + 713 C > T) and the development of severe oral mucositis.
Type of treatment protocol, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, and melphalan dose along with baseline serum albumin and female gender predicted 43.6 % of grades 2-4 OM cases.
