Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to evaluate the photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) for the prevention of oral mucositis in osteosarcoma patients submitted to high doses of methotrexate, through two different protocols. As a hypothesis, photobiomodulation for the prevention of oral mucositis after cycles of Cisplatin, Doxorubicin and Methotrexate is more effective than just the application of preventive low-power laser after Methotrexate alone.
