This is OncoSnacks, a new, fortnightly OftIM spinoff!
In this new bite-sized series, Michael and Josh try to sink their teeth into more slice-of-life topics, all to help you, our beloved listeners, digest some of the most common problems your patients will serve to you on a platter. This week, a treatment side effect that actually stops people eating (and making lame food-based puns as well): mucositis.
This common side effect of anti-cancer systemic therapy can have a major impact on patients quality of life, frequently leading to hospitalisations, significant morbidity and nasogastric tubes galore. But how do we manage such a troublesome problem? Listen on to find out!
