    Critical review: effect of propolis in management of oral mucositis in cancer patients
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-10-18) Salvador Altamirano, Lorena Alexandra; Bohórquez Medina, Sofia Lorena
    The nutritional intervention in mucositis aims to address the nutritional deficiencies in cancer patients to improve their nutritional status and quality of life. These deficiencies are evidenced in the nutritional assessment through anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, dietary, and ecological indicators. The following secondary research, Critical Review: Effect of Propolis in the Management of Oral Mucositis in Cancer Patients, aims to review the different studies conducted on the clinical question: Will propolis intervention improve oral mucositis in oncological patients of both sexes, all ages, and under oncological treatment (radiotherapy or chemotherapy)? The methodology used was NuBE. In the information gathering, 30 articles were found, 11 of which were evaluated with the CASPE tool. The systematic review titled “Mechanism of Action, Efficiency, and Safety of Propolis for Managing Oral Mucositis: A Systematic Review” was selected, with Evidence Level A1 and STRONG Grade of Recommendation. The critical comment concluded that propolis is beneficial for treating oral mucositis caused by oncological treatment, but further studies are needed with larger samples, longer treatment durations, more focus on the type of propolis used, and nutritional evaluations of participants.
