Potential Benefits of Oral Cryotherapy for Chemotherapy-Induced Mucositis

Abstract: Mucositis is a common side effect of cancer therapies that causes painful, erythematous lesions to develop in the gastrointestinal tract. These lesions can lead to malnutrition, increased risk for serious infection, prolonged hospital stays, and reduced quality of life. Oral cryotherapy, or the use of ice chips to cool the mucous membranes during bolus chemotherapy infusions (e.g., 5-fluorouracil [Adrucil®] and melphalan [Alkeran®]), is the most readily accessible and cost-effective intervention available.

“…The incidence of oral mucositis was also lower in patients undergoing cryotherapy with ice made from chamomile infusion [23]. Although the effects of cryotherapy on prevention, reduction of injury time, and severity of oral mucositis have been previously described [43,44], the association of chamomile improved the results of conventional cryotherapy. Chamomile gel was also effective in relieving pain in patients with traumatic ulcers [21].…”

“…5-fluorouracil mempunyai waktu paruh yang sangat pendek yaitu 5-20 menit. 16 Cryotherapy dapat bekerja pada daerah sekitar rongga mulut dimana rongga mulut mengalami vasokonstriksi akibat mengulum es batu (chip), hal ini menyebabkan obat kemoterapi khususnya 5-fluorouracil kombinasi dengan obat yang lain dapat mengurangi atau memperlambat aliran darah sehingga efek sitotoksik pada daerah rongga mulut dapat diminimalisir .7 Kemoterapi 5-fluorouracil dapat merusak lapisan pada sel epitel basal secara langsung, menyebabkan aktifnya Reaktif Oksigen Spesies (ROS). Kerusakan sel menyebabkan timbulnya peningkatan reaksi radang.…”
