Summary
This study tests two simple, low-cost methods—cold application (like ice chips) and artificial saliva—to prevent painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy. About 60 cancer patients starting chemo will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments or standard care. The goal is to see which approach better keeps the mouth healthy and comfortable during treatment.
