摘要
No overt clinical oral candidiasis was noted upon either direct oral examination or review of medical records. No significant change in percent ofCandida species as compared to other populations is seen in this study. Varying percents of individual species do differ from other reports. Alimentary and digestive tract tumors represented over 56% of the primary malignancies. There was a significant correlation between decrease in salivary pH and increase in percent ofCandida species growth. Most significantly, however, the preliminary data in this study might eventually contribute to continuing investigation ofCandida species in human cancer patients. © 1979 The C. V. Mosby Co.
