ABSTRACT
Oral cavity is one of the main organs involved in chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD). Oral cGVHD seriously affects the patient's quality of life. Topical use of glucocorticoid and other agents is the primary topical treatment of oral cGVHD, oral photochemical therapy and various new methods have also been applied in patients recently. These important adjuvant therapies are based on the systemic use of drugs such as immunosuppressive agents, and sometimes, may be the only effective treatment for oral cGVHD. This review will focus on the application of topical agent treatment and oral photochemotherapy in oral cGVHD patients.
