Hyaluronic acid for treatment of the radiation therapy side effects: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: The clinical use of hyaluronic acid for topical administration in patients with inflammatory conditions at the level of the vaginal and anal mucosa, following radio and chemo-therapies, resulted an innovative approach to help patients in managing the AEs. Hyaluronic acid confirmed its totally safety profile and resulted effective in the inflammation decrease, improving the tissue health and the symptoms related. For all these reasons, we can easily promote the clinical application of hyaluronic acid on inflamed tissues though a substantial work is necessary to investigate more deeply the hyaluronic acid role on this context.
