| Title: | Scales to graduate oral mucositis: what are the limitations? |
| Authors: | Adriele de Freitas Neiva Lessa Daniela Pereira Meirelles Aline Maria do Couto Karine Duarte da Silva Maria Cássia Ferreira de Aguiar |
| Abstract: | Oral mucositis is a common acute complication of a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treatment. Multiple scales can be used to diagnose and grade this lesion, but they all have some limitation regarding this group of patients. Most of these issues are associated with the hardness to differentiate signs and symptoms from oral mucositis vs. the inherent neoplasm. This study highlights the importance of a specifically developed scale for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. |
