Expression of salivary biomarkers in patients with oral mucositis: evaluation by SELDI-TOF/MS.

2016

Objective: This study aims to evaluate changes in proteomic salivary profile of patients with oral mucositis after adjuvant cancer treatments. Materials and Methods: Samples were collected from patients after adjuvant cancer therapies, and were analyzed by means of SELDI/TOF. Patients were separated in two groups: patients affected by mucositis (MUCOSITIS) and patient without mucositis (NO MUCOSITIS). All patients were divided in function of the anticancer treatment: patients who had radiotherapy (MUCOSITIS RADIO), had not radiotherapy (MUCOSITIS NO RADIO), had chemotherapy (MUCOSITIS CHEMO), and those who had not chemotherapy (MUCOSITIS NO CHEMO). Statistical evaluation PCA (Principal Comp…

Efficacy of a Spray Compound Containing a Pool of Collagen Precursor Synthetic Amino Acids (L-Proline, L-Leucine, L-Lysine and Glycine) Combined with…

2010

Oral mucositis (OM) is a very frequent and potentially severe complication experienced by patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, which often leads to significant morbidity and mortality, and decreased quality of life, and is very costly. Despite its severity and prevalence, there is no standard recognised management today. The aim of this open clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and compliance of a new spray compound containing sodium hyaluronate (SH) and a pool of collagen precursor amino acids (AAs) combined with sodium hyaluronate (SH) to manage radio/chemotherapy-induced OM. Twenty-seven consecutive patients with OM were treated according to the manufacturer's inst…

Oral mucositis: a survey on changes in the proteomic profile

2014

Objectives. Oral mucositis is the most severe complication of anticancer therapy. It occurs in 40-85% of patients during chemotherapy and radiotherapy but also in patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The symptoms for oral mucositis are burning and severe pain oral, spontaneous bleeding, dysphagia, dysarthria and odynophagia; especially pain and burning sensation on swallowing contribute to decreased quality of life for oncologic patients and, in severe cases, may also force the patient to feed parenterally (1). Furthermore, if the mucositis is severe it can lead to partial or complete interruption of radiotherapy before completion of the treatment protocol wi…
