CONCLUSION : Mucositis toxicity is dose-dependent and occurs at higher doses.
Mucositis and mucosal erosions are caused by the suppressive effect of MTX on
cell proliferation. As highly replicative cells are affected more severely than cells
of non-proliferative or weakly proliferative tissues, mucositisis one of the most
common side effects of high-dose MTX therapy.
