Abstract | Purpose: Oral cryotherapy is an effective method to prevent oral mucositis (OM) induced by chemotherapeutic agents, such as melphalan (Mel). However, there is limited data about cryotherapy in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients; thus, the current study aimed to examine the efficacy of cryotherapy among allo-HSCT recipients treated with Mel-containing regimens. Methods: Medical records of 78 consecutive allo-HSCT recipients were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline characteristics and clinical courses between the patients who received cryotherapy (cryotherapy group, n = 42) and those who did not (control group, n = 36) were compared, especially focusing on methotrexate (MTX) use as a part of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Results: Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that a higher dose of Mel (OR, 3.82; 95%CI, 1.085-13.46; P = 0.037) or MTX use (OR, 7.61; 95% CI, 2.41-23.97; P < 0.001) was associated with the incidence of OM. MTX use was also significantly associated with the duration of OM (β = 0.515; 95% CI, 9.712-21.636; P < 0.001). Among 31 patients without MTX use, cryotherapy was associated with a significant reduction of OM development (0% in the cryotherapy group vs 35% in the control group, P = 0.021). We did not find such an association in 47 patients with MTX use. Conclusion: Cryotherapy was useful to prevent the incidence of OM in allo-HSCT recipients in the cases without MTX for GVHD prophylaxis. |
