Incidence of mucositis in patients treated with temsirolimus-based regimens and correlation to treatment response

Oncologist. 2014 Apr;19(4):426-8. doi: 10.1634/theoncologist.2013-0231. Epub 2014 Mar 25.

Abstract

Mucositis may limit the therapeutic window for mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor-based combination therapy, necessitating treatment interruptions and/or dose reductions. Optimizing treatment or prophylactic interventions for mucositis will enable patients to continue effective treatment while maintaining good quality of life.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00678769 NCT01378377 NCT01529593.
