Oral mucositis induced by radiation is an inevitable but transient side-effect of radiotherapy. Acute phase proteins are a class of proteins whose phase concentrations fluctuate in response to inflammation. The best known of the acute phase proteins is C-reactive protein, a protein that rises in the blood with inflammation.
