Brief Summary: RATIONALE Light-emitting diode LED therapy may be able to prevent mucositis of the mouth

PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of LED therapy in preventing mucositis of the mouth in children who are receiving chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy before donor bone marrow transplantation
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in children undergoing NASA-developed light-emitting diode LED therapy during a pre-transplantation myeloablative conditioning regimen chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy and continuing through the post-bone marrow transplantation BMT phase versus LED therapy during the post-BMT phase only

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center and cheek being treated right vs left Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 schedules of light-emitting diode LED therapy

Arm I Patients undergo LED therapy for 71 seconds once daily beginning on day 1 of the myeloablative conditioning regimen comprising chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy and continuing for 14 days after bone marrow transplantation BMT
Arm II Patients undergo LED therapy as in arm I beginning on the day of BMT day 0 and continuing for 14 days after BMT

Photographs are taken of the right and left buccal mucosa at baseline and then every 3 days beginning on day 1 of LED therapy

Pain and xerostomia are assessed using the Wong-Baker smiley-face pain scale at baseline and then periodically for 14 days after BMT

Patients are followed monthly for 2 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 80 patients 40 per arm will be accrued for this study within 2 years
