Oral mucositis refers to tissue swelling in the mouth. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy may cause mucositis. Oral mucositis is an erythematous and ulcerative lesion of the oral mucosa observed in patients with cancer who are treated with chemotherapy, and/or with radiation therapy. Lesions of oral mucositis are often very painful and compromise nutrition and oral hygiene as well as increase the risk for local and systemic infection. Oral mucositis is a significant and dose-limiting toxicity of cancer therapy with important clinical and economic implications. Oral mucositis from chemotherapy or radiation treatment can last from 7 to 98 days.
