This article has reviewed selected oral complications that can develop in the myelosuppressed or head and neck radiation cancer patient. Many of these complications can be prevented by treating diseased oral sites prior to initiation of cancer therapy. Further, cancer treatment often causes changes in oral tissues that require long-term management. The dentist thus can play an important role in the overall care of many cancer patients.
本文回顾了骨髓抑制或头颈部放射治疗癌症患者可能出现的某些口腔并发症。通过在癌症治疗开始前治疗患病口腔部位，许多此类并发症是可以预防的。此外，癌症治疗常常会导致口腔组织发生变化，这需要长期管理。因此，牙医在许多癌症患者的整体护理中可以发挥重要作用。
