Abstract

Radiotherapy is currently an important modality in the treatment of malignant tumours, but while it improves patient survival, it also increases the risk of patient infection-related complications to some extent. Radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM), a common complication following radiotherapy, is commonly seen in patients with head and neck malignancies treated with radiotherapy measures. The current knowledge of RIOM has led to the development of appropriate treatment and prevention measures, but due to the lack of adequate clinical practice and evidence for most of these interventions, a more uniform and comprehensive treatment system has yet to be developed. This review will summarise the current interventions and treatments for RIOM.
