PURPOSE: Oral mucositis is a frequent adverse reaction in cancer treatment. Probiotics exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties that could prevent the occurrence of severe oral mucositis (SOM) induced by chemotherapy or radiation therapy in patients. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the influence of probiotics on the incidence of SOM in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from their inception to September 2023. Dichotomous variables are analyzed with odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs, and statistical significance was set at a two-tailed P <0 .05. The primary outcome indicator was the effect of probiotics on SOM. Secondary outcome indicators included the effect of probiotics on oral mucositis and the ratio of diarrhoea. Statistical analysis was conducted using RevMan (5.4) and Stata 17.0 software.
RESULTS: The study included a total of 12 articles and involved 1055 patients. All patients had undergone either radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Our findings revealed that the experimental group, which received probiotics for treatment, exhibited a lower ratio of SOM compared to the control group that received traditional placebo treatment (OR=0.37, 95%CI [0.28, 0.50], P<0.01). Subgroup analysis revealed variations in the ratio of SOM based on therapeutic regimen, tumor type, and region. The overall ratio of oral mucositis was significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group (OR=0.19, 95%CI [0.09-0.39], P<0.01). The ratio of diarrhea in the two patient groups showed no significant difference (OR=0.85, 95%CI [0.24, 3.01], P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that probiotics could decrease the occurrence of SOM.
