Abstract

Ulcerative mucositis has become an increasingly important toxicity of antineoplastic therapy. In an effort to establish mucositis risk prediction for specific cancer chemotherapy regimens, a 25 field database was developed. This paper describes the rationale and methodology for creation of the database and instructions for access to it via the Internet.
