    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pharmacology
    • Stomatology

    Background:

    • Corticoids have shown promise in managing advanced stomatological cancers.
    • Understanding the specific benefits and administration methods is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of corticoids, specifically prednisone, in treating advanced oral cancers.
    • To assess the impact of prednisone on various cancer-related symptoms and the general condition of patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Long-term administration of corticoids at an effective dose of 40 mg of prednisone per day.
    • Observation and documentation of effects on pain, inflammation, infection, fever, and edema.
    • Evaluation of the impact on the general condition and assessment of injection administration benefits.

    Main Results:

    • Prednisone demonstrated efficacy in managing symptoms: 40% on pain, 52% on inflammation/infection, 14% on fever, and 34% on edema.
    • Significant improvement in the general condition of patients was observed.
    • Injection administration proved advantageous for patients with dysphagia or in urgent situations.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-term corticoid therapy with prednisone is beneficial for advanced stomatological cancers.
    • Standard contraindications for corticoids may require modification in cancer patients.
    • The therapy is well-tolerated, with rare and minor incidents when patients are closely supervised.
