Abstract
At one point only a few short years ago several more were in the race to be approved for severe oral mucositis (SOM), which refers to sores or ulcers that develop in the mouth and throat. SOM is the most serious and common complication from the management of head and neck cancer, a highly curable cancer if detected early and treated fully.
