Abstract
Oral complications associated with cancer therapy may not be inevitable. The intensity and duration can be prevented or alleviated by correcting existing oral‐dental pathology and maintaining meticulous oral care. Microbial (bacterial, fungal and viral) assessment not only allows appropriate documentation of mucositis versus mucosal infection but directs therapeutic treatment.Keywords
