Purpose of review: Mucositis of the gastrointestinal tract is a debilitating side effect of chemotherapy that negatively influences treatment tolerance and patient life quality. This review will evaluate the recent literature on nonpharmacological strategies that have the potential to improve chemotherapy-induced mucositis (CIM). Recent findings: Alternatives to pharmacological approaches have shown great promise in preventing CIM. Natural products, including curcumin, ginseng, quercetin, and patchouli all show potential in mitigating CIM. In addition, dietary patterns, such as the elemental diet, high fiber diet, and diets high in amino acids have documented benefits in preventing CIM. Perhaps the greatest advancement coming to this arena in recent years is in the field of probiotics. Indeed, research on single species as well as probiotic mixtures show potential in reducing CIM insofar as probiotics are now being suggested for treatment of CIM by governing bodies. Although behavioral interventions including psychological interventions and exercise interventions have shown promise in reducing cancer therapy-related side effects, more work in this domain is warranted and particularly in the context of CIM. Summary: Alternatives to pharmacological approaches show great potential for use in prevention and treatment of CIM and should be further developed for use in the clinic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
