Abstract

In recent years, the importance of the mouth care is rising as for the cancer care. As the measure to the necrosis-of-the-jaw-bone by bisphosphonate, our hospital had begun an effort to the mouth care. However, the addition of the medical service fee to the perioperative oral cavity function management was established in 2012, to improve QOL and the treatment results of the patient, and to reduce a medical expense. At the time everolimus appeared, and a countermeasure against stomatitis by everolims was needed, so we have deepened cooperation with the nearby dentist and the dental association in the area, holding a mouth care workshop regularly. So far the dental care at the time of the cancer care is a weak point at the medium-size hospital without dentistry like our hospital. However, by cooperation with the dentistry before the cancer care begins at present, it became possible to prevent the mouth trouble and to improve the quality of our cancer care. We report on former match and the problem in the future.
