Siri Beier Jensen,Anne Marie Lynge Pedersen,Arjan Vissink,Elo Andersen,C. G. Brown,Andrew Davies,J. Dutilh,Janet S. Fulton,Ljiljana Janković,Nilza Nelly Fontana Lopes,A. L. S. Mello,L. V. Muniz,C. A.

TL;DR: Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia are induced by radiotherapy in the head and neck region depending on the cumulative radiation dose to the gland tissue, and treatment focus should be on optimized/new approaches to further reduce the doses to the parotids.

TL;DR: There is evidence that salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia induced by cancer therapies can be prevented or symptoms be minimized to some degree, depending on the type of cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cesar A. Migliorati,Ian Hewson,Rajesh V. Lalla,Héliton Spíndola Antunes,Cherry L. Estilo,Brian D. Hodgson,Nilza Nelly Fontana Lopes,Mark M. Schubert,Joanne M. Bowen,Sharon Elad +9 more
TL;DR: The increasing evidence in favor of low-level laser therapy allowed for the development of two new guidelines supporting this modality in the populations listed above.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-level laser therapy in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in young patients
Meire Maman Fracher Abramoff,Nilza Nelly Fontana Lopes,Luciana Almeida Lopes,Luciano Lauria Dib,Arnaldo Guilherme,Eliana Maria Monteiro Caran,Adriana Delboni Barreto,Maria Lucia Martinho Lee,Antonio Sergio Petrilli +8 more
TL;DR: The ease of use of LLLT, high patient acceptance, and the positive results achieved, make this therapy feasible for the prevention and treatment of OM in young patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclooxygenase-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in 5-fluorouracil-induced oral mucositis in hamsters: evaluation of two low-intensity laser protocols
Nilza Nelly Fontana Lopes,Hélio Plapler,Maria Cristina Chavantes,Rajesh V. Lalla,Elisabeth Mateus Yoshimura,Maria Teresa de Seixas Alves +5 more
TL;DR: Low-intensity laser therapy appears to reduce the severity of mucositis, at least in part, by reducing COX-2 levels and associated inhibition of the inflammatory response.
