Résumé

Oral Mucositis (OM) continues to be an oncologic challenge in the context of antineoplastic therapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment. It is a dose-limiting toxicity of chemotherapy and radiation treatment and negatively impacts quality of life and cancer treatment efficacy. Significant effort in the field of OM has been made to help alleviate its symptoms and its subsequent clinical and economic impact. Despite these advances, the treatment of oral mucositis remains difficult and focuses on palliative measures. There are, however, many promising new biological targets currently undergoing investigation to ameliorate or help prevent the toxicity of OM in HNC. Some of these targets undergoing investigation in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials are further highlighted along with the pathobiology of OM, clinical course, prevention, and management measures.
