Abstract:
Radiation-induced oral mucositis (ROM) is one of the most common adverse events after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, which may result in oral pain, dysphagia, poor nutrition or even radiotherapy interruption. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the role of microorganisms in ROM. In this review, the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of ROM, the role of microorganism in ROM and its mechanism and probiotic therapy were summarized.
