Chemotherapy is a common treatment for cancer, but it is associated with adverse drug reactions like oral mucositis. This condition destroys basal cells in the oral mucosal layer, causing inflammation and ulceration. This can impact the patient's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, affecting treatment outcomes and quality of life. This study aims to determine the prevalence, severity, and risk factors of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis among adult cancer patients.
