Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To review the management of radiotherapy- and chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal mucositis. DATA SOURCE: Articles and research studies. CONCLUSION: Gastrointestinal damage is becoming a common dose-limiting toxicity. However, there is only limited research into the mechanism and possible treatment of this toxicity. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: It is important to document the frequency and severity of gastrointestinal mucositis, and to alleviate symptoms wherever possible.
