Use of topical Vitamin E in oral mucositis in patients undergoing oncology treatment. Scoping review

Based on the studies included in this review, topical vitamin E appears to offer beneficial effects in mitigating the severity and duration of oral mucositis lesions in patients undergoing cancer treatment. However, no standardized protocol currently exists regarding dosage, mode of application (therapeutic vs. preventive), or duration of treatment. Further clinical trials are warranted to establish clear guidelines for the use of topical vitamin E in this context.
