CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Results from a new national survey reveal that the majority (97%) of oral mucositis (OM) sufferers believe there is little or no awareness among the general public of oral mucositis, one of the most common and debilitating complications of cancer treatment. The low level of public awareness may be explained by a perceived lack of effective treatments and information about OM – a problem cited by 85% of the survey respondents. The survey was supported by Cytogen Corporation, which recently licensed and introduced CAPHOSOL®, an advanced electrolyte solution indicated as an adjunct to standard oral care in treating OM caused by radiation or high dose chemotherapy, in the U.S. (www.caphosol.com).
