Of the increasing number of patients receiving chemotherapy, about 40 percent will develop significant oral problems during each exposure to the medication. Because of its rapid growth and cell turnover rate, the oral mucosa is very vulnerable to chemotherapy. Essentially all oral complications of the therapy occur through direct or indirect stomatotoxicity. The goal of care for this patient population is to maintain the integrity of the oral mucosa, prevent secondary infection, provide pain relief and maintain dietary intake.
在接受化疗的患者数量不断增加的情况下，每次接受化疗时，约40%的患者会出现严重的口腔问题。由于口腔黏膜生长迅速且细胞更新率高，极易受到化疗的影响。该治疗的所有口腔并发症基本上都是通过直接或间接的口腔毒性发生的。对这一患者群体的护理目标是维持口腔黏膜的完整性，预防继发感染，缓解疼痛并维持饮食摄入。
