- cancer prospective evaluation oral mucositis
Prospective is in medicine, a study or clinical trial in which participants are identified and then followed forward in time. Oral, by or having to do with the mouth. Mucositis is a complication of some cancer therapies in which the lining of the digestive system becomes inflamed. Often seen as sores in the mouth. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- It`s possible to presume that, experimental Design We evaluated if d-Met could selectively prevent radiation-induced oral mucositis using in vitro cell culture models as well as an in vivo model of radiation injury to the oral mucosa in C3. H mice. Mucosa is the moist, inner lining of some organs and body cavities (such as the nose, mouth, lungs, and stomach). Glands in the mucosa make mucus (a thick, slippery fluid). Also called mucous membrane. In vivo is in the body. The opposite of in vitro (outside the body or in the laboratory). Cell is the individual unit that makes up the tissues of the body. All living things are made up of one or more cells. Experimental is in clinical trials, refers to a drug (including a new drug, dose, combination, or route of administration) or procedure that has undergone basic laboratory testing and received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be tested in human subjects. A drug or procedure may be approved by the FDA for use in one disease or condition, but be considered experimental in other diseases or conditions. Also called investigational. Culture is the beliefs, values, and behaviors that are shared within a group, such as a religious group or a nation. Culture includes language, customs, and beliefs about roles and relationships. Radiation, energy released in the form of particle or electromagnetic waves. Common sources of radiation include radon gas, cosmic rays from outer space, medical x-rays, and energy given off by a radioisotope (unstable form of a chemical element that releases radiation as it breaks down and becomes more stable). In vitro is in the laboratory (outside the body). The opposite of in vivo (in the body). Cell culture is the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast, or human, plant, or animal cells in the laboratory. Cell cultures may be used to diagnose infections, to test new drugs, and in research.
- It would seem to be apparant that, d-Met protects mice from radiation-induced lip erythema. Mice were treated with daily ionizing radiation (6 Gy 5 fractions) in the presence or absence of d-Met and scored for oral mucositis. A, daily erythema score for control , radiation alone , d-Met i.v. Ionizing radiation is a type of radiation made (or given off ) by x-ray procedures, radioactive substances, rays that enter the Earth`s atmosphere from outer space, and other sources. At high doses, ionizing radiation increases chemical activity inside cells and can lead to health risks, including cancer. Erythema, redness of the skin.
- It really is clear that, purpose Oral mucositis is a common acute morbidity associated with radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Morbidity is a disease or the incidence of disease within a population. Morbidity also refers to adverse effects caused by a treatment. Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells. Acute, symptoms or signs that begin and worsen quickly; not chronic.
