Abstract:
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a major side effect of the antiresorptive drugs used in treating patients with osteoporosis and cancer. MRONJ appears as prolonged inflammation affecting the maxilla or mandible, with necrotic bone exposure and intraoral and extraoral fistulas. According to previous studies, surgery for this condition is highly beneficial. However, extensive surgical treatment generally overburdens patients with MRONJ, who often already suffer from other diseases such as cancer; therefore, further consideration must be given to their overall condition. Herein, we present the case of an elderly patient with extensive MRONJ who was successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and conservative treatment.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
