Summary

Radiation therapy is one of the treatments for Nasopharyngeal carcinoma . The most common side effects of post-radiation may be radiation-induced oral mucositis . When severe, oral mucositis increases the risk of infection and may affect clinical outcomes due to treatment interruption, dose reduction, and reduced treatment compliance. In China, a quadruple mixture of dexamethasone, gentamicin, vitamin B12, and lidocaine is commonly used in patients who begin to have radiation-induced oral mucositis . However, the incidence of radiation-induced oral mucositis remains high. Recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor is a multifunctional cell growth factor that stimulates the growth of cells derived from mesoderm and neuroectodermal cells and thus has a wide range of biological activities. The drug has different degrees of promotion on the three stages of the wound repair process, namely the local inflammatory reaction stage, cell proliferation and differentiation, granulation tissue formation stage and tissue reconstruction stage. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor as an intervention in radiation-induced oral mucositis for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma , with a commonly used quadruple mixture (from dexamethasone, gentamicin , vitamin B12 and lidocaine composition) were compared.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor

Recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor is prescribed at the beginning of radiotherapy for free. Patients are asked to start application of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor at the onset of radiotherapy, four times a day (after meals and before bedtime), until completion of their radiotherapy. All patients will receive conventional health education and medical care for prevention and treatment of radiation-induced oral mucositis. When grade \> 3 OM happened, other interventions, such as prophylactic or therapeutic antibacterial therapy, will be used, and radiotherapy should be interrupted.
