Proposal for a protocol for the oral care of children under 15 with cancer at the Dijon University Hospital
Description
Whereas cancer is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 15, its incidence rate has stabilized in recent decades and there has been a considerable decline in infant mortality, mainly due to early diagnosis and management. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the two main therapies used in children with cancer. The cytotoxicity of these therapies results in oral complications that will affect the oral and general health of young patients as well as their dental care needs. The multidisciplinary management of children in the pediatric oncology department must involve the dental surgeon in the prevention, stabilization and short and long-term management of oral complications. There is currently no oral care protocol for children hospitalized in pediatric oncology at Dijon University Hospital
Abstract (French)
Le cancer est la principale cause de deces chez les enfants de moins de 15 ans. Bien que son taux d'incidence ce soit stabilise au cours des dernieres decennies, il y a eu une baisse considerable de la mortalite infantile, principalement due a un diagnostic et une prise en charge precoce. La chimiotherapie et la radiotherapie sont les deux principales therapeutiques utilisees chez les enfants atteints de cancer. La cytotoxicite de ces therapeutiques a pour consequences des complications bucco-dentaires qui auront une incidence sur la sante orale et generale des jeunes patients ainsi que sur leurs besoins en soins dentaires. La prise en charge pluridisciplinaire de enfants dans le service d'oncologie pediatrique doit impliquer le chirurgien-dentiste dans la prevention, la stabilisation et la prise en charge a court et long terme des complications orales. Il n'existe actuellement aucun protocole de prise en charge bucco-dentaire des enfants hospitalises en oncologie pediatrique au CHU de Dijon. (auteur)
