Preview- One can conclude that, a meta-analysis of randomized trials of ulcerative mucositis prophylaxis in irradiated head and neck cancer patients Meta-analysis is a process that analyzes data from different studies done about the same subject. The results of a meta-analysis are usually stronger than the results of any study by itself. Head and neck cancer, cancer that arises in the head or neck region (in the nasal cavity, sinuses, lips, mouth, salivary glands, throat, or larynx [voice box]).

- You can determine, a method of inhibiting radiation or chemotherapy induced ulcerative mucositis comprising administering to a human in need thereof an effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are independently hydrogen, --CH.sub.3, ##STR6## wherein Ar is optionally substituted phenyl; R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of pyrrolidine, hexamethylenemino, and piperidino; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of solvate thereof. 2. 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).
