Chemotherapy is an important method for patients with hematological malignancies, and oral mucosal inflammation is one of the common complications during chemotherapy. The occurrence of oral mucositis often leads to persistent pain in blood tumor chemotherapy patients, affecting normal eating and causing swallowing difficulties. In severe cases, it can cause sleep disorders, increase patients psychological burden, and lead to treatment compliance. Although chemotherapy has significantly improved the efficacy of treating blood tumor patients, it is crucial to accurately evaluate oral mucosal inflammation in clinical practice, identify its occurrence early, and take appropriate preventive and nursing interventions in a timely manner, given the high incidence of oral mucosal inflammation and its significant impact on the chemotherapy efficacy and quality of life of blood tumor patients. Based on this, this article first summarizes the common complications of chemotherapy related oral mucositis, and reviews the nursing of chemotherapy related oral mucositis in patients with hematological malignancies.
