A real-life experience of long-term use of pilocarpine in irradiated head and neck cancer patients.
Aims: To assess long-term efficacy and side effects of pilocarpine on irradiated head and neck cancer (HNC) patients in both for prevention and treatment of radiation-induced xerostomia (RIX).
Methods: Retrospective observational study was conducted. Eligibility criteria included irradiated HNC patients who received pilocarpine at least 12 weeks either for prevention (group A) or for treatment (group B) of RIX. We collected the documented Late Effect Normal Tissue Task Force-Subjective, Objective, Management, Analytics subjective/objective grades of RIX before (only group B) and the latest visit for pilocarpine prescription, dosage, side effects, duration of treatment, and the cause of discontinuation.
Results: Between December 2007 and June 2022, 182 patients were enrolled including 95 patients (52%) in group A and 87 patients (48%) in group B. Group A patients reported grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 objective RIX in 0%, 7%, 93%, and 0%. Grade 1, 2, and 3 subjective RIX were 57%, 28%, and 15%. All patients in group B had grade 3 both objective/subjective RIX. The overall improvement of objective/subjective RIX was found in 40%/83%. Discontinuation was found in 51% of patients due to tolerable symptoms or deterioration of the patient's status.
Conclusions: Based on this retrospective analysis, long-term use of pilocarpine in irradiated HNC appears feasible for both prevention and treatment of RIX.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
