title: Oral complications associated with the treatment of pediatric neuroblastoma: a case study.
abstract: The treatment for pediatric cancer can have serious oral complications that adversely affect prognosis. Dental intervention to pediatric cancer patients is crucial in influencing side effects of therapy. This case study will demonstrate the role for oral intervention prior to and during cancer chemotherapy, as well as demonstrate the overall success achieved with interdisciplinary care.
