| dental management of chemotherapy patients: Oral Complications of Cancer Chemotherapy Douglas E. Peterson, Stephen T. Sonis, 1983-03-31 This new work on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy is edited by two dentists who have made pioneering contributions in this previously neglected area. Their efforts have established the invaluable role of the dentist in oncologic research and cancer patient management. The editors have collected nine chapters that will be of interest to dentists and dental hygienists, oncology nurses, and all physicians treating cancer patients with chemo therapeutic agents. Background chapters on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy, the pharmacology of chemotherapeutic agents, and principles of infection management and prevention set the stage for more specific chapters focusing on prevention and treatment of chemotherapy induced oral and dental disorders. Valuable contributions to the supportive care of the cancer patient are contained in this book. A full comprehension of this book, coupled with an appreciation for advances in other areas of supportive care, such as antiemetic therapy and pain control, will allow all those involved in cancer treatment to be more successful.

| dental management of chemotherapy patients: Necessity is the Mother of all Invention Management of Oral Cancer Dr. Pradeep Kumar Jha, Dr. (Prof.) Ritesh Raj, 2020-10-06 “Necessity is the mother of all invention Management of Oral Cancer” have revolutionized the field of medical profession for long time and now all set to blaze a new trail in maxillofacial malignancy. Cancer being the second most frequent cause of mortality after cardiovascular disease, many patients do survive cancer treatment. With newer treatment regimens and the use of novel biological agents, more and more patients survive for longer periods of time, and many leads airily normal active lives. These patients are seen by general dentists and dental specialists in hospital and private dental clinic setting. The dental professional may be involved in preparing the patient for cancer therapy by screening for treating odontogenic infections. He / She may be involved in the management of oral complications during and after cancer therapy, since with improved techniques for delivering chemotherapy, many patients who have cancer are being treated in their community rather than travelling to cancer centres. More often, such patients are seen by general dentist for routine dental care after cancer therapy. Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Newer treatment of cancer were introduce and recognize as a chief treatment. These treatment modality have been involved in medical and dental field more than ninety years. Chemotherapy typically involves the use of several antineoplastic (anticancer) drugs to treat cancer, though some people are treated with single medications. While the drugs in this family are toxic to cancer cells, many are also toxic to healthy cells, which give rise to numerous side effects. A few drugs used in chemotherapy enhance immune function, while some alter hormonal activity. Chemotherapy aims to eliminate the clonogenic cells completely. The inevitable damage to normal cells from cytotoxic therapy is tolerated by prompt and efficient repair of normal cells, as opposed to that of tumour cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy target actively dividing cells and the two most susceptible stages are the M-phase and S-phase of the cell cycle. Ionizing radiation is used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. For therapy high energy radiation in megavoltage range is preferred where as for diagnosis kilovolt age energy is used. The radiotherapy is based on the principle that rapidly proliferating cells are more sensitive to ionizing radiation compared to normal cells. This differential cell kill is used for the treatment of tumors. A dose of radiation that is sufficient to kill cancer cells will produce considerable if not permanent damage to the normal tissues. The malignant cells which have a high rate of mitosis are highly susceptible to the action of radiation. However, the normal cells recover but not the malignant tissues. Thus the aim of radiotherapy is to deliver a homogenous dose of radiation to an accurately localized tissue target volume in order to produce tumor control with minimal effect on the surrounding normal structures. Radiotherapy is a specialty which took birth at the end of the 19th century with the discovery of x rays by Sir Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Friday, the 8th November 1895. This book updates the oral health care professional on how to prepare a patient for cancer therapy and identify and manage short term and long term complications of cancer therapy. Book range from the use of new therapeutic agents, such as keratinocyte growth factor that reduces the incidence of mucositis during chemotherapy and radiotherapy to learning how to recognize infections in patients who are immunocomromised, to understanding the socio – economic costs of oral complications. We hope that that these practical and evidence – based guidelines will be readily accessible and useful to cancer specialist in the management of patient who develop oral complications of cancer therapy.

| dental management of chemotherapy patients: Early Detection and Treatment of Head & Neck Cancers Rami El Assal, Dyani Gaudilliere, Stephen Thaddeus Connelly, 2021-05-07 Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers that, if combined, represent one of the most common cancer types. Patients with HNC suffer significant morbidity and mortality due to the importance of the structures involved. Over two-thirds of these patients are diagnosed at a late stage, leading to a poor prognosis. Therefore, advancements in early detection and treatment of HNC are crucial. Volume I begins with a general overview, including the industry landscape, of HNC detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Next, it covers the applications of innovative technologies such as microfluidics, nanotechnology, and deep learning to early detect as well as study HNC. For example, studying the cellular features at a single-cell level became possible with the advancement of technologies such as mass cytometry or specifically, Cytometry by Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry (CyTOF), which has revolutionized the way we can study complex human diseases such as HNC. Finally, the last few chapters are dedicated to describing the standard of care of HNC. The first volume of Early Detection and Treatment of Head & Neck Cancers is highly pertinent to the next generation of interdisciplinary clinicians, scientists, residents, and students who are particularly interested in HNC and in the translation of early detection methods, technologies, and research to clinical practice. |

| dental management of chemotherapy patients: Pain in the Cancer Patient M. Zimmermann, P. Drings, G. Wagner, 2012-12-06 Pain is unfortunately not an early symptom in neoplastic diseases. When it occurs, however, as it so often does in the advanced stages of the disease, then it can be particularly severe. Many physicians are not able to treat such pain efficiently with the standard methods familiar to them. Even in the oncological clinic, it is common for cancer patients not to receive adequate treatment of their pain; the therapeutic efforts are directed principally at the cancer, the pain often being neglected. This book fills a gap in the literature and should enhance the awareness of pain of all those who deal with cancer patients. For the patient, the symptoms of the disease are usually the direct cause of suffering, and pain is often the most severe symptom. The pain may be potentiated by knowledge of the threat posed by the cancer, or may itself considerably increase the patients existing anxiety. Thus there is a vicious circle of pain and psychological factors which will reduce the patient to a state of despair and distress. It is, therefore, obvious that efficient pain therapy is of utmost signi ficance to the patient, who will judge the doctor's ability to provide medical assistance according to the degree of pain relief achieved. The patient's quality of life will also depend critically on the relief obtained. |

| dental management of chemotherapy patients: Cancer Pain Relief World Health Organization, 1996 The second edition of a guide, which introduced a simple, yet highly effective method for the relief of cancer pain. Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition further refines the WHO method, which advocates the use of a small number of relatively inexpensive drugs, including morphine. Revisions draw on experiences with millions of patients around the world as well as new knowledge about the specific pain syndromes unique to cancer. Completely new are chapters describing the international system by which morphine and other opioids are made available for medical purposes. The book has two parts. Part one provides a practical guide to the relief of cancer pain, concentrating on drug treatment as the mainstay of pain management. The most extensive section sets out detailed guidelines for the selection and prescribing of non-opioid analgesics, opioid analgesics, drugs for neuropathic pain, and adjuvant drugs for the treatment of adverse effects, the enhancement of pain relief and the management of concomitant psychological disturbances. Information ranges from explanations of how specific drugs work, through the precautions to take in the presence of certain disorders, to a list of factors that influence the effectiveness of opioids. Concerning the use of opioids, readers are reminded that psychological dependence does not occur in cancer patients and that the only correct dose of morphine is the one that relieves the pain. Part two provides a guide to opioid availability. A discussion of the reasons why opioids continue to be underprescribed or difficult to obtain is followed by an explanation of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. |

| dental management of chemotherapy patients: The Rand/UCLA Appropriateness Method User's Manual Kathryn Fitch, Steven J. Bernstein, Maria Delores Aguilar, Mary S. Aguilar, Bernard Burnand, Pablo Lazaro, Juan Ramon LaCalle, 2001 Health systems should function in such a way that the amount of inappropriate care is minimized, while at the same time stinting as little as possible on appropriate and necessary care. The ability to determine and identify which care is overused and which is underused is essential to this functioning. To this end, the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method was developed in the 1980s. It has been further developed and refined in North America and, increasingly, in Europe. The rationale behind the method is that randomized clinical trials--the gold standard for evidence-based medicine--are generally either not available or cannot provide evidence at a level of detail sufficient to apply to the wide range of patients seen in everyday clinical practice. Although robust scientific evidence about the benefits of many procedures is lacking, physicians must nonetheless make decisions every day about when to use them. Consequently, a method was developed that combined the best available scientific evidence with the collective judgment of experts to yield a statement regarding the appropriateness of performing a procedure at the level of patient-specific symptoms, medical history, and test results. This manual presents step-by-step guidelines for conceptualising, designing, and carrying out a study of the appropriateness of medical or surgical procedures (for either diagnosis or treatment) using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method. The manual distills the experience of many researchers in North America and Europe and presents current (as of the year 2000) thinking on the subject. Although the manual is self-contained and complete, the authors do not recommend that those unfamiliar with the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method independently conduct an appropriateness study; instead, they suggest seeing one before doing one. To this end, contact information is provided to assist potential users of the method. |
