    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Oral Medicine
    • Palliative Care

    Background:

    • Effective oral care is vital for patients with advanced cancer.
    • Current research on specific oral care interventions for this population is limited.
    • Patients frequently experience oral health problems, indicating a need for practice development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critique existing research-based oral care interventions for advanced cancer patients.
    • To identify key areas requiring practice development in oral hygiene for this group.
    • To provide guidelines for managing common oral complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and critique of research-based oral care interventions.
    • Analysis of management strategies for coated mouth and tongue, dry mouth, oral infections (fungal, viral, bacterial), pain, and altered taste.

  • Incorporation of practice-based evidence and understanding of oral cavity structure and function.

    • Main Results:

    • Research findings are presented where available.
    • Guidelines are offered for areas lacking robust research, based on physiological principles and current tools.
    • Significant gaps in evidence-based practice for managing oral issues in advanced cancer patients were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • There is an urgent and unmet need for coordinated research in oral care for advanced cancer patients.
    • Developing and evaluating specific, evidence-based oral care regimes is critical.
    • Improved oral care can significantly enhance the quality of life for seriously ill patients.
