Resumo: The usage of chemotherapy and radiotherapy isolated or together as protocol for oncology treatment may induce oral mucositis, which is one of the main acute side effects observed in patients who presented cancer. Such toxicity appears, in average, from seven to ten days after chemotherapy and from the second week of radiotherapy. Although it has been a highly studied toxicity, only recently have the molecular mechanisms started to be discovered, which has assisted the appearance of new protocols to prevent it. Among the therapeutic methods studied to prevent oral mucositis and several unsuccessful cases, the low power laser therapy has received good reviews as an efficient alternative in the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis presented as a low cost non-traumatic treatment, with good results. Various randomized studies with patients who underwent bone marrow transplants and radiotherapy in the region of the head and neck have proved the decrease of oral mucositis incidence as well as a decrease of pain during treatment. The objective of this paper is to revisit some concepts on mucositis and to review the literature concerning the clinical studies that have used low power laser in order to prevent oral mucositis.

Essa toxicidade surge em média de sete a dez dias após a quimioterapia e a partir da segunda semana de radioterapia. Apesar de ser uma toxicidade estudada há muito tempo, somente recentemente os mecanismos moleculares e celulares começaram a ser desvendados, o que contribuiu para o surgimento de novos protocolos de prevenção. No universo de modalidades terapêuticas estudadas na prevenção da mucosite oral e de inúmeros insucessos, a terapia com o laser de baixa potência se destaca como uma alternativa eficaz na prevenção e no tratamento da mucosite oral, apresentando-se como um tratamento não traumático, de baixo custo e com bons resultados. Diversos estudos randomizados com pacientes submetidos ao transplante de medula óssea e à radioterapia na região de cabeça e pescoço comprovaram a diminuição da incidência de mucosite oral e de dor durante o período de tratamento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi conceituar mucosite e fazer uma revisão de literatura sobre os estudos clínicos que utilizaram o laser de baixa potência para prevenir mucosite oral.INCA2009-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/167910.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2009v55n1.1679Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 55 No. 1 (2009): Jan./Feb;/Mar.; 59-68Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 55 Núm. 1 (2009): ene./feb./mar.; 59-68Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 55 n. 1 (2009): jan./fev./mar.; 59-682176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1679/990Rampini , Mariana Pereira Ferreira, Elza Maria de Sá Ferreira, Carlos Gil Antunes, Héliton Spíndola info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:21:33Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1679Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:21:33Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
