Mucositis is a prevalent issue in patients under cancer treatment which can cause delay in the therapy and therefore potentially affects outcomes and survival. Several therapeutic options have been studied to prevent or treat mucositis^1,2; however, the lack of standardization of the therapies as well as their diversity and limitations in the methods in which they are assessed,² has left patients and healthcare providers without the proper tools to battle this common enemy.
