✦ Synopsis

The yeasts of patients with oral cancer has been studied before and during Xr-therapy. Gram and PAS smears revealed an increase of yeast-like structures, during treatment, from 56~o to 66~o of the cases. Before radiotherapy oral yeasts were isolated from 56~o of the patients with cancer represented by Candida albicans (3070); C. tropicalis (12~o); C. glabrata and C. krusei (470), besides six other different species (2 ~o ). During radiotherapy yeasts were isolated in 72 ~o of the cases, as follow: C. albicans (36 7o); C. tropicalis (16~o); Rhodotorula rubra (6~o); C. kefyr; C. krusei and Pichia farinosa (4~o), besides other nine species (2 ~ C. albicans serotype A represented 93 ~o of the isolated samples, before treatment and 88,8 70 during Xr-therapy.
