Mouth ulcers and loss of taste from chemo and radiotherapy stop people eating. Low-level light therapy and structured swallowing and taste rehabilitation can help; make them standard.
Oral mucositis affects most patients receiving head and neck radiotherapy and many on intensive chemotherapy; photobiomodulation (low-level laser) is recommended by MASCC/ISOO for prevention in defined settings but is rarely available. Taste alteration and dysphagia are under-treated and drive malnutrition. The proposal is a bundled programme: photobiomodulation in eligible patients, prophylactic swallowing exercises, dietetic taste rehabilitation, and standard PRO measurement, implemented in radiotherapy and transplant units.
