C Tardieu, D Cowen, X Thirion, JC Franquin - European Journal of Cancer …, 1996 - Elsevier
Acute oral complications are serious and disabling secondary effects for patients
undergoing cancer therapy. Therefore, the authors wanted to develop a sensitive and
specific method to measure oral mucosal changes associated with autologous bone marrow

of cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation were included. The clinical changes of the
oral mucosa and functional modifications were scored daily, over 21 days with a 16 item …
