Filter by:The purpose of oral care is to reduce the effect of oral pathological microbial flora and to prevent infection, pain, and bleeding associated with cancer treatment. New agents are introduced each day to be used in the prevention and treatment of mucositis in cancer treatment. One of those agents is the Ankaferd Hemostat. Ankaferd Hemostat has pleiotropic effects and anti-infective characteristics in tissue healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ankaferd Hemostat in the prevention of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy in adult patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to be conducted with patients who are recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will receive the first course of chemotherapyd. The data were collected using the Performance Score and the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Scale.
This is a prospective randomized crossover trial. Patients will be randomized to the FMD or regular diet during three rounds of chemotherapy. After the third round, patients will cross over to the opposite arm. The primary hypothesis is that there will be fewer cases of Grade 2-4 nausea when patients are in the FMD sequence. The primary objective is to assess differences in toxicities in patients undergoing chemotherapy with a combination of taxol/carboplatin when using a fasting mimicking diet when compared to normal diet before and after treatment.
