ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Palliative care (PC) aims to improve quality of life in patients and its families against life threatening diseases, through suffering's prevention and relief. It is the duty of the dental surgeon to possess the knowledge needed to treat a patient with little life span, in order to establish an adequate treatment plan for each situation. AIM: To synthesize the published evidence on oral conditions, impact, management and challenges in managing oral conditions among palliative patients. METHODS: Articles were selected from PubMed and Scopus electronic platforms, using a research strategy with diverse descriptors related to "palliative care", "cancer" and "oral health". The article's selection was done in two phases. The first one was performed by the main researcher through the reading of the abstracts. In the second phase two researchers selected eligible articles after reading in full those previous selected. Data was tabulated and analyzed, obtaining information about what is found in literature related to this subject and what is necessary to be approached in future researches about PC. RESULTS: As results, the total of 15 articles were eligible, being one a qualitative analysis, 13 (92.8%) clinical trials and one observational study. Of the 15 articles, 8 (53.4%) involved questionnaires, while the rest involved: one systematic review about oral care in a hospital environment, 2 oral exams and oral sample collection, one investigation of terminal patient's (TP) oral assessment records, 2 collection of oral samples and their respective analysis and one treatment of the observed oral complications. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that the oral manifestations in oncologic patients in terminal stage are, oral candidiasis, dry mouth, dysphagia, dysgeusia, oral mucositis and orofacial pain. Determining a protocol for the care of these and other complications of cancer - or cancer therapy - based on scientific evidence with the latest cutting-edge research results is of fundamental importance for the multidisciplinary team that works in the care of patients in PC. To prevent complications and its needed to initial the dentist as early as possible as a multidisciplinary member. It has been suggested palliative care protocol based on the up to date literature available for some frequent oral complications in TP with cancer. Other complications in terminal patients and their treatments still need to have further studying.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: To report a rare case of erythema multiforme (EM) associated with methotrexate (MTX) with cutaneous and oral manifestations and to compare it to existing cases in which MTX was not used for cancer treatment. A 56-years- old female, in physical examination skin lesions and multiple oral ulcers associated with pain during manipulation were observed, and underwent treatment for rheumatoid arthritis with Methotrexate 2.5mg. During examination patient-reported that 15 days ago she had undergone a rheumatoid factor examination, doubling the MTX dosage (10mg / day) without doctor's consent. The diagnostic hypothesis of EM. The medical conduct consisted of the suspension of MTX and prescription of a vitamin complex with folinic acid. Local dental therapy for to control oral lesions, pain control and lip hydration was performed using low-level laser therapy (Twin Laser, P: 40mW, T: 50s, DE: 50J / cm), benzydamine hydrochloride spray, purified lanolin for lip dryness, and toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulfate to prevent burning. After 12 days, there was significant remission of oral and skin signs and symptoms, which confirmed the diagnosis was EM due to MTX intoxication. Thorough clinical evaluation and anamnesis favored diagnosis and early multi-professional management provided remission of oral and skin lesions, prevented systemic complications.


RESUMEN: El objetivo de este trabajo fue informar un caso raro de eritema multiforme (EM) asociado a metotrexato (MTX) con manifestaciones cutáneas y orales y compararlo con casos existentes en los que no se utilizó MTX para el tratamiento del cáncer. Caso clínico: Mujer de 56 años, en el examen físico se observaron lesiones cutáneas y múltiples úlceras de la cavidad oral asociadas a dolor durante la manipulación.Se sometió a tratamiento para la artritis reumatoide con metotrexato 2,5 mg. Durante el examen, la paciente informó que hacía 15 días se había sometido a un examen de factor reumatoide, duplicando la dosis de MTX (10 mg / día) sin el consentimiento del médico. La hipótesis diagnóstica de EM. La conducta médica consistió en la suspensión de MTX y prescripción de un complejo vitamínico con ácido folínico. La terapia dental local para el control de las lesiones orales, el control del dolor y la hidratación de los labios se realizó mediante terapia con láser de bajo nivel (Twin Laser, P: 40mW, T: 50s, DE: 50J / cm), aerosol de clorhidrato de bencidamina, lanolina purificada para la sequedad de labios y pasta de dientes sin lauril sulfato de sodio para evitar quemaduras. Después de 12 días, hubo una remisión significativa de los signos y síntomas orales y cutáneos, lo que confirmó el diagnóstico de ME por intoxicación por MTX. La evaluación clínica exhaustiva y la anamnesis favorecieron el diagnóstico y el manejo multiprofesional precoz proporcionó la remisión de las lesiones orales y cutáneas, evitando además complicaciones sistémicas.

ABSTRACT

La mucositis oral (MO) es la reacción secundaria aguda más frecuente en la cavidad oral y tracto gastrointestinal en pacientes oncológicos sometidos a quimioterapia o radioterapia de cabeza y cuello que incide negativamente en la calidad de vida del paciente. Su tratamiento requiere de un manejo multidisciplinario con el objetivo de minimizar la incidencia y severidad de esta patología. El desconocimiento parcial respecto de su etiopatogenia imposibilita la realización de protocolos para el manejo de esta complicación. Si bien existe evidencia científica respecto a las alternativas de prevención y tratamiento, éstas dependen de la evaluación individual que haga el clínico con cada paciente. A continuación, se presenta una revisión bibliográfica actualizada de la literatura científica publicada y se discuten aquellos aspectos más relevantes en torno a la prevención y tratamiento de la mucositis oral.


Oral mucositis (OM) is the most common acute secondary reaction in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy to the head and neck, which adversely affects the patient's quality of life even at the risk of death. This requires multidisciplinary knowledge and management in order to minimize the incidence and severity of this pathology. The partial lack of knowledge regarding its etiopathogenesis makes it impossible to establish standardized guidelines for the management of this complication. Although there is scientific evidence regarding prevention and treatment alternatives, these depend on the individual evaluation of each patient and the clinical scenario in which they are presented. An updated review of the published scientific literature is presented below and those aspects most relevant to the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis are discussed.

ABSTRACT

Background: Oral mucositis (OM) is an inflammation of the oral mucosa due to cancer therapy that compromises the patient's quality of life. Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is a non-invasive method to monitor microvascular blood flow (BF) in real-time. Purpose: Develop a method to evaluate BF in the genian region cheek in patients undergoing chemotherapy by LDF and compare the degrees of OM and pain with evaluation of BF. Material and methods: Evaluation of OM was performed using the World Health Organization (WHO) and Oral Mucositis Assessment Scale (OMAS) scales and the visual analog scale for pain evaluation. For flowmetry analysis, a laser Doppler flowmeter (moorVMSTM™, 780 nm wavelength and VP3 probe), fixed by an acrylic resin support was used; VP3 probe was positioned on the genian region and the patient's head was stabilized with a neck pillow for an accurate measurement. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the flowmetry results at the studied times. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate relationships between BF and the WHO, OMAS and visual analog scales. Results: Eleven patients of both sexes, aged between 30 and 78 years, with OM were included. An increase in cutaneous BF was observed at the initial times of OM, with progressive reduction during the chemotherapy cycle. There was a statistical difference (p<0.05) between time point T0 (first consultation) and time point T6 (last consultation). Conclusion: The method developed in this pilot study is effective, reliable, and reproducible, and allows the evaluation of BF dynamics in the genian region using LDF of patients undergoing chemotherapy at risk of developing OM.


Antecedentes: La mucositis oral (MO) es una inflamación de la mucosa oral debido a la terapia del cáncer, que compromete la calidad de vida del paciente. La flujometría láser Doppler (FLD) es un método no invasivo para monitorear el flujo sanguíneo microvascular (FS) en tiempo real. Objetivo: Desarrollar un método para evaluar la FS en la mejilla de la región geniana en pacientes sometidos a quimioterapia por FLD y comparar los grados de MO y dolor con la evaluación del FS. Material y Métodos: La evaluación de la MO se realizó utilizando las escalas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y la Escala de Evaluación de la Mucositis Oral (OMAS) y la escala analógica visual para la evaluación del dolor. Para el análisis de flujometría se utilizó un flujómetro láser Doppler (moorVMSTM™, longitud de onda de 780 nm y sonda VP3), fijado por un soporte de resina acrílica; La sonda VP3 se colocó en la región geniana y la cabeza del paciente se estabilizó con una almohada para el cuello para una medición precisa. Se utilizó la prueba de Wilcoxon para comparar los resultados de la flujometría en los tiempos estudiados. Se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson para evaluar las relaciones entre FS y las escalas de la OMS, OMAS y analógicas visuales. Resultados: Se incluyeron 11 pacientes de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre 30 y 78 años, con MO. Se observó un aumento del FS cutáneo en los momentos iniciales de la MO, con reducción progresiva durante el ciclo de quimioterapia. Hubo una diferencia estadística (p<0.05) entre el momento T0 (primera consulta) y el momento T6 (última consulta). Conclusión: El método desarrollado en este estudio piloto es efectivo, confiable y reproducible, y permite evaluar la dinámica del FS en la región geniana utilizando FLD de pacientes sometidos a quimioterapia con riesgo de desarrollar MO.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Describir la incidencia y el puntaje de la mucositis oral (MO) y las morbilidades relacionadas en individuos sometidos a trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas (TCMH) a lo largo del período de inmunosupresión. Métodos: Los sujetos con enfermedades onco / hematológicas, mayores de 14 años, sometidos a TCMH alogénico fueron evaluados diariamente por la presencia y clasificación de OM, nivel de dolor, disfagia, disgeusia y xerostomía. El examen comenzó dos días antes de la infusión de células madre hematopoyéticas y finalizó veinte días después. La OM se clasificó de acuerdo con la escala de la OMS y se utilizó la escala analógica visual (EVA) para medir el nivel de dolor. Resultados: Se reclutaron 23 individuos, el 83% con enfermedades malignas y el 91% con OM. La mediana del grado máximo de OM fue 3 y el nivel máximo de dolor fue 9. Hubo una mediana de 11 días de uso de medicación opioide. Los sujetos que tuvieron el mayor número de días con dolor en la boca alcanzaron el grado máximo de OM y el mayor número de días y el uso de opioides. Conclusión: Hubo una alta incidencia y puntuaciones más altas de OM, pérdida de masa corporal y dolor en esta muestra.


Abstract Aim: To describe the oral mucositis (OM)` incidence and score, and related morbidities in individuals submitted to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) throughout the immunosuppression period of time. Methods: Subjects with onco / hematological diseases, older than 14 years, submitted to allogeneic HSCT were daily evaluated by the presence and classification of OM, pain level, dysphagia, dysgeusia and xerostomia. The examination started two days before the infusion of hematopoietic stem cells and ended twenty days later. The OM was classified according to the WHO scale and visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure pain level. Results: Twenty-three individuals were recruted, 83% with malignant diseases and 91% had OM. The median of maximum OM degree was 3 and the maximum pain level was 9. There was a median of 11 days of opioid medication use. The subjects who had the highest mean number of days with mouth pain reached the maximum degree of OM and higher number of days and opiod use. Conclusion: There was a high incidence and high scores of OM, loss of body mass and pain in this sample.

ABSTRACT

Dosimetry for low-level laser therapy (LLLT) depends on several parameters, such as target tissue type, lesion type and laser equipment used. This study aimed to determine the most used LLLT dosimetry for the treatment and prevention of oral mucositis (OM) resulting from radiation therapy (RT) in head and neck cancer patients (HNCP). This research was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines using the PICO framework. After extensively searching PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, BVS and Cochrane Library databases, we found 130 records and selected 7 studies, involving 363 HNCP with an average age of 60.6 years who received RT. Briefly, sites affected by tumors were the following: oral cavity (170), oropharynx (91), throat (42), larynx (32), nasopharynx (11), hypopharynx (9), and in 8 cases, sites were not reported. These studies used several classifications for OM (RTOG/EORTC, WHO, NCI-CTC) and pain (NRS, VAS and modified VAS). These various researchers performed the LLLT punctual application of different forms using several protocols making analysis difficult. However, LLLT was effective regardless of the parameters used (632.8 nm to 685 nm, 1.8 J/cm2 to 3.0 J/cm2, 10 mW to 60 Mw, 0.8 J to 3.0 J). The meta-analysis showed a better results with preventive LLLT 660 nm, 3.8 J/cm2, 15 mW; 0.15 J compared to preventive LLLT 660 nm, 1.3 J/cm2, 5 mW; 0.05 J (OMS: p = 0.03; NCI-CTC: p = 0.027). We conclude that there is, as of yet, no evidence of better laser dosimetry being more effective. Thus, randomized clinical trials to determine which doses of LLLT are most appropriate for treating and preventing OM due to RT are lacking and should be further investigated.

ABSTRACT

Oral side effects must be expected during cancer treatment on pediatric patients. Monitoring side effects on oral cavity of antineoplastic therapy is desirable but sometimes performed without criteria. The purpose of this article is to describe an oral monitoring in an male with Hodgkin lymphoma during chemotherapy treatment using an Oral Assessment Guide. An 11-yr-old male was assisted during all treatment of chemotherapy against Hodgkin's lymphoma in the dental sector of a hospital of reference of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The Oral Assessment Guide was applied by a calibrate examiner and was observed the emergence of ulcerative lesions on the labial mucosa emerged on two different periods (D15- primary cycle; D15-second cycle) and the major values of oral mucositis were verified in D1 e D15 periods of second cycle of chemotherapy. Monitoring oral side effects during antineoplastic therapy could prevent severe oral complications and avoid to associate systemic complications(AU)


Los efectos secundarios orales se manifiestan durante el tratamiento del cáncer en los pacientes pediátricos. El monitoreo de los efectos secundarios en la cavidad oral de la terapia antineoplásica es deseable, pero a veces se realiza sin criterios. El propósito de este artículo es describir un monitoreo oral en un niño con linfoma de Hodgkin durante el tratamiento de quimioterapia, empleando una guía de evaluación oral. Un niño de 11 años de edad fue asistido durante todo el tratamiento de quimioterapia contra un linfoma de Hodgkin en el sector odontológico de un hospital de referencia de João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. La guía de evaluación oral fue aplicada por un examinador calibrado. Se observó la aparición de lesiones ulcerosas en la mucosa labial que aparecieron en dos períodos diferentes (D15- primer ciclo; D15-segundo ciclo) y los valores más altos de la mucositis oral se verificaron en períodos D1 e D15 del segundo ciclo de quimioterapia. El seguimiento de los efectos secundarios orales durante la terapia antineoplásica podría prevenir las complicaciones orales graves y evitar complicaciones sistémicas asociadas(AU)

ABSTRACT

La mucositis es una de las complicaciones orales frecuentes en la terapia del cáncer, no obstante su tratamiento es controversial. Se ha señalado que la efectividad de algunos agentes depende de la fase de la mucositis en la que se inicia el tratamiento. El propósito de este estudio fue hacer una revisión de la literatura sobre las lesiones tenpranas eritenatosas de mucositis oral inducida por quimioterapia y/o radioterapia en pacientes pediátricos con cancer. Para tanto se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para conocer: frecuencia, diagnóstico y tratamiento de las lesiones tenpranas eritenatosas de mucositis oral en niños con cáncer. Los resultados denostraron que debido a la alta frecuencia de esta patología por ser inducida por quimioterapia en pacientes pediátricos con cáncer se cita la existencia de varios tratamientos, destacándose la utilización de la vitamina E y de laser, pudiendo ser terapias efectivas en el tratamiento de estas lesiones tenpranas de mucositis oral en pacientes pediátricos con cáncer


Mucositis is one of the frequent oral complications in the cancer therapy, however its treatment is controversial. Have been highlighted that the effectiveness of some agents depends on the mucositis development phase when the treatment is started. The purpose of this study was to do a revision on the literature regarding mucositis eritenatosas initial injuries induced by chenotherapy and/or radioteraphy in pediatric patients with cancer. A bibliographic revision was made to know: frequency, diagnosis and treatment for the oral mucositis eritenatosas initial injuries in children with cancer. The results shown that because of the high frequency of this pathology induced by chenotherapy and/or radioteraphy in pediatric patients with cancer, the existence of several treatments is highlighted, the use of vitamin E and laser stands out as an effective therapy for this oral mucositis initial injuries treatment in pediatric patients with cancer

ABSTRACT

Mucosite oral é um dos efeitos indesejáveis que se destaca após terapêutica antineoplásica. Este trabalho buscou identificar evidências sobre ações de prevenção e tratamento para mucosite oral induzida por quimioterapia e/ou radioterapia que subsidiem o cuidado de enfermagem. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório, quantitativo realizado através de revisão bibliográfica, no período de 1993 a 2007. Consultou-se as bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Biblioteca Cochrane e Scientific Electronic Library Online, tendo sido analisados 38 artigos contendo definições, características e cuidados com mucosite oral. Os enfermeiros publicam pouco sobre a temática, apenas 13,1% das publicações encontradas. Verificou-se que a boa manutenção da higiene oral (39,4%) é a forma mais eficaz de prevenção. O tratamento que mais se destaca atualmente é o laser de baixa potência (21,0%), seguindo-se o gluconato de clorexidina a 0,12% (18,4%). A mucosite requer participação ativa do enfermeiro atuando na assistência pré-terapêutica, prevenindo e preparando o paciente através de abordagem individualizada baseada em evidências.


Oral mucositis is one of the undesirable effects standing out after antineoplasia therapy. This paper aimed at identifying evidence on preventive action and treatment for oral mucositis induced by chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy, which can subsidize nursing care. This is a descriptive, exploratory, quantitative study carried out on the basis of a bibliographic review from 1993 to 2007 on the basis of Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cochrane Library, and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases. Thirty-eight articles containing definitions, characteristics, and care of oral mucositis were analyzed. Nurses publish little on the theme - just 13.1% of titles were found. Good oral hygiene (39.4%) is found to be the most efficient form of prevention. The first two treatments outstanding today are low power laser treatment (21.0%) and chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% (18.4%). Mucositis requires active participation from the nurses working in pre-treatment to prevent and to prepare the patient through an individualized approach based on evidence.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el presente estudio se hizo con el propósito de comparar los efectos de tres enjuagues en el tratamiento de la mucositis oral secundaria al tratamiento de la leucemia linfoblástica aguda en niños en edades entre 3 y 15 años, que estaban hospitalizados en el Pabellón de Hematooncología Infantil del Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl de Medellín. Métodos: se usaron tres enjuagues: triconjugado conformado por: lidocaína en gel al 2%, hidróxido de aluminio e hidróxido de magnesio con simeticona en suspensión (MylantaMR) e hidrocloruro de difenhidramina en jarabe (BenadrylMR); sucralfato constituido por sucralfato de sacarosa de aluminio en suspensión (Dip SucralfatoMR) y lidocaína en gel al 2%, y un tercer enjuague denominado control conformado por lidocaína en gel al 2%; a los tres enjuagues se les adicionó nistatina genérica (100.000 UI) en suspensión para prevenir la sobreinfección fúngica. La asignación de enjuagues fue al azar haciendo a cada paciente tres enjuagues diarios con el asignado; se hizo un registro diario de la severidad de la mucositis y la duración del episodio con el fin de establecer diferencias entre ellos. El tipo de estudio fue cuasi experimental de tipo comparativo y ciego, con una muestra de catorce casos (seis con triconjugado, cuatro con Sucralfato y cuatro de grupo control) recolectados en un periodo de 32 meses, entre abril de 2005 y noviembre de 2007. Resultados y conclusiones: no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la duración ni en la severidad de la mucositis que presentaron los grupos de pacientes con la utilización de los enjuagues estudiados.


Introduction: the present study was conducted to compare the effects of three mouth rinses in the treatment of oralmucositis induced by chemotherapy in children between 3 and 15 years of age, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and who were hospitalized at the Pediatric Hemato oncology Pavilion of the San Vicente de Paul University Hospital in the city of Medellin. Methods: three mouth rinses were compared: Triconjugate diphenhydramine, milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) and lidocaine in gel; Sucralfate comprising sucralfate suspended and lidocaine in gel; and a third rinse, called Control consisting of lidocaine in gel; nistatin was added to the mouth rinses to avoid fungal infection. Each group had 3 daily rinses with the assigned mouth rinse and a daily log was made with information related to the severity of mucositis and duration of the episode. The type of study was a quasi-experimental comparative blind design, the sample had 14 cases (triconjugate with 6 cases, 4 in the sucralfate group and 4 in the control group) and collection of the sample was made over a period of 32 months between April 2005 and November 2007. Results and conclusion: no statistically significant differences were found in the severity nor on the length of mucositis among the rinses used by the patients.
