    Abstract It has been 24 years since rapamycin (sirolimus) was approved to mitigate solid organ transplant rejection and 16 years since mTOR (mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin) inhibitors reached patients as a cancer therapy. While the clinical benefits of mTOR inhibitors (mTORi) are robust, so too are their toxicities. Among the most common issues is the development of ulcers of the oral mucosa (mTOR-inhibitor associated stomatitis; mIAS). These lesions are distinct from those of other anti-cancer agents, occur with regularity, and impact patient outcomes. mIAS' pathogenesis has been the subject of speculation, and its similar presentation to recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) has led to the hypothesis that it might serve as a surrogate to better understand RAS. Based on a review of the literature, the current manuscript provides a hypothesis regarding the mechanisms by which mTORis uniquely initiate mucosal injury and an explanation for the observation that steroids (also an immunosuppressive) are effective in its treatment through a non-immunologic mechanism. Unexplained unique features of mIAS are discussed in this review in the context of future investigation.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of topical gabapentin solution (250 mg/mL) for the management of burning mouth syndrome (BMS).
    Study design: A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients diagnosed with BMS and managed with gabapentin 250 mg/mL solution (swish and spit) between January 2021 and October 2022. Patient-reported outcomes included changes in burning score ranked on a 10-point numeric rating scale (NRS) and reported adverse drug reactions (ADR). Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess differences in the oral burning score ranked on a NRS (0-10) between the baseline visit and the second visit.
    Results: A total of 19 patients (68.4% females) with BMS were included and evaluated for follow-up at a median of 86 days (range: 29-195). Overall, patients reported a median 2-point burning decrease on a 0-10 NRS between the baseline visit and the second visit (p < 0.01). ADRs were reported by 3 patients (15.8%).
    Conclusion: Although this was a small retrospective study, BMS management with topical gabapentin (250 mg/mL) appears to be effective and well-tolerated. Future randomized prospective studies are needed to verify these preliminary findings.

  7. Article ; Online: Pathogenesis of Oral Toxicities Associated with Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy.

    Abstract Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have redefined cancer treatment. While they have enhanced tumor response and improved survival rates in many cancer types, toxicities continue to occur, and these often involve the oral cavity. Broadly reported as "mucositis" or "stomatitis," oral toxicities induced by targeted therapies differ clinically and mechanistically from those associated with conventional chemotherapy. Manifesting primarily as mucosal lesions, salivary gland hypofunction, or orofacial neuropathies, these oral toxicities may nonetheless lead to significant morbidity and impact patients' quality of life, thereby compromising clinical outcomes. We conclude that familiarity with the spectrum of associated toxicities and understanding of their pathogenesis represent important areas of clinical research and may lead to better characterization, prevention, and management of these adverse events.

    Abstract Introduction: Oral mucositis (OM) is among the most common, damaging side effects of head and neck radiation therapy and may interfere with patients' ability to comply with optimal treatment.
    Areas covered: The increasing unmet clinical need, recent clinical trial successes, and the commercial potential have catalyzed interest in the development of effective intervention for OM. A range of small molecules are under development - some still in the preclinical stage, but others close to NDA submission. This review will focus on those drugs which have recently been assessed in a clinical trial and those which are still under clinical study as a prevention or treatment for radiation-associated OM.
    Expert opinion: In response to the unmet clinical need, both the biotechnology and pharmacological industries have been actively pursuing an agent to prevent/treat radiation-associated OM. This effort has been catalyzed by the identification of multiple drug targets which contribute to OM's pathogenesis. The lessons learned from the many trials which have previously stumbled have led to standardization of clinical trial design, endpoint efficacy definitions, rater assessment, and data interpretation over the past decade. Consequently, results of recently completed clinical trials provide optimism that effective treatment options should be available in the not-too-distant future.

    Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) signs and symptoms may be first identified by dental hygienists during routine extra and intra-oral examinations. A comprehensive extra-oral and intra-oral examination during regular dental hygiene assessment is paramount to identifying oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and cancerous lesions for timely referral and treatment. Integrating a systematic list of questions during the medical and dental assessment along with careful visual and tactile examinations is critical to identifying OPMDs and cancerous lesions. Understanding the relationship between oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and how vaccination can prevent HPV-related OPSCC is critical to providing evidence-based recommendations and care. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on current epidemiological trends of OSCC and OPSCC rates in the United States (US) and provide the latest evidence on what dental hygienists must know to improve health outcomes and mitigate the consequences of undiagnosed cancer. This report considers enduring challenges with the annual rise in OPSCC rates and the public health burden of HPV-related cancers in the US. Emphasis on regular, quality continuing education about OSCC and OPSCC is emphasized along with recommendations for evidence-based training.
