What is the most probable oral complication for a patient currently undergoing chemotherapy?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Oral mucositis
Oral mucositis — painful inflammation and ulceration of the oral mucosa — is one of the most common and clinically significant oral complications of chemotherapy (and head/neck radiation therapy), often limiting nutritional intake and quality of life, and sometimes necessitating dose modification of cancer treatment itself.
