ABSTRACT
The yeasts of patients with oral cancer has been studied before and during Xr-therapy. Gram and PAS smears revealed an increase of yeast-like structures, during treatment, from 56% to 66% of the cases. Before radiotherapy oral yeasts were isolated from 56% of the patients with cancer represented by Candida albicans (30%); C. tropicalis (12%); C. glabrata and C. krusei (4%), besides six other different species (2%). During radiotherapy yeasts were isolated in 72% of the cases, as follow C. albicans (36%); C. tropicalis (16%); Rhodotorula rubra (6%); C. kefyr; C. krusei and Pichia farinosa (4%), besides other nine species (2%). C. albicans serotype A represented 93% of the isolated samples, before treatment and 88.8% during Xr-therapy.
