Purpose: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common type of malignancy that is often treated with radiotherapy. This treatment can lead to the development of oral mucositis. This study investigates the effectiveness of a synbiotic mouthwash in reducing the severity of oral mucositis and in modulating salivary toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) levels in HNSCC patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Advances in the treatment of cancer have significantly improved mortality rates; however, this has come at a cost, with many treatments still limited by their toxic side effects. Mucositis in both the mouth and gastrointestinal tract is common following many anti-cancer agents, manifesting as ulcerative lesions and associated symptoms throughout the alimentary tract. The pathogenesis of mucositis was first defined in 2004 by Sonis, and almost 20 years on, the model continues to be updated reflecting ongoing research initiatives and more sophisticated analytical techniques.

Purpose: A MASCC/ISOO Clinical Practice Statement (CPS) is aimed at generating a concise tool for clinicians, which concentrates on practical information needed for the management of oral complications of cancer patients. This CPS is focused on the current understanding of controversies that may arise while providing basic oral care in hemato-oncology patients and hematopoietic cell transplantation recipients (HCT). The CPS will summarize and elucidate controversies that have appeared in the literature and professional discussions.
