NUTRITIONAL, MICROBIOLOGICAL, AND THERAPEUTIC FACTORS RELATED TO MUCOSITIS IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER PATIENTS: A COHORT STUDY.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:the objective was to demonstrate if treatment modality, nutritional status and oropharyngeal flora contribute to the development of mucositis in radiotherapy- treated head and neck cancer. METHODS:single-cohort study of patients with head and neck cancer (H&N) in which radiotherapy was indicated. Nutritional status was evaluated using SGA, BMI, and FFMI. A buccal smear was performed before radiotherapy for cultivation of bacteria and yeasts. Mucositis was evaluated using the WHO grades. Relative risk (RR) and its 95% CI were calculated. RESULTS:the study included 35 patients, 74.3% males, 63.8 (9.9) years of age, and 34.3% malnourished. The diagnoses included larynx (40.0%), oral (25.7%), and pharynx cancer (11.4%). Treatment comprised 66.0 Gy of radiation, chemotherapy (60.0%), and surgery (57.1%). Bacteria were found in 28.6%, including Staphylococcus aureus (8.6%) and Escherichia coli (8.6%). Yeasts (Candida spp.) were found in 35.3%. Mucositis was more frequent in patients with definitive radiotherapy [100% vs. 65%, p = 0.01; RR = 1.54 (CI95% 1.12 to 2.12)]. Neither SGA nor BMI or FFMI were related to the development or severity of mucositis. Positive cultures for bacteria before radiotherapy were related to severe mucositis [44.4% vs. 12%, p = 0.039; RR = 4.17 (CI95% 1.22 to 14.24)], but there was no relationship with the presence of yeasts. Previous surgery was not associated with the appearance of the studied strains of bacteria. CONCLUSION:bacterial colonization of the oropharynx prior to radiotherapy may be a factor for severe mucositis in H&N patients. :Objetivo: el objetivo fue demostrar si la modalidad de tratamiento, el estado nutricional y la flora orofaríngea contribuyen al desarrollo de mucositis en pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello tratados con radioterapia. Métodos: estudio de cohorte de pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello (CyC) tratados con radioterapia. El estado nutricional se evaluó utilizando VGS, IMC e IMM. Se realizó un frotis bucal antes de la radioterapia para el cultivo de bacterias y levaduras. Se evaluó la mucositis usando los criterios de la OMS. Se calcularon el riesgo relativo (RR) y su IC del 95%. Resultados: el estudio incluyó a 35 pacientes, 74,3% hombres, 63,8 (9,9) años de edad, y 34,3% desnutridos. Los tumores estaban localizados en laringe (40,0%), boca (25,7%) y faringe (11,4%). El tratamiento consistió en 66,0 Gy de radiación, quimioterapia (60,0%) y cirugía (57,1%). Se encontraron bacterias en 28,6%, incluyendo Staphylococcus aureus (8,6%) y Escherichia coli (8,6%). Se encontró Candida spp. en el 35,3%. La mucositis fue más frecuente en los pacientes con radioterapia radical [100% vs. 65%, p = 0,01; RR = 1,54 (IC95% 1,12 a 2,12)]. Ni VGS, IMC ni IMM se relacionaron con el desarrollo o la gravedad de la mucositis. Los cultivos positivos para bacterias antes de la radioterapia se relacionaron con mucositis severa [44,4% vs. 12%, p = 0,039; RR = 4,17 (IC95% 1,22 a 14,24)], pero no hubo ninguna relación con la presencia de levaduras. La cirugía no se asoció con la aparición de las cepas estudiadas de bacterias. Conclusión: la colonización bacteriana de la orofaringe antes de la radioterapia puede ser un factor para la mucositis graves en pacientes con cáncer CyC.
