amifostine anhydrous and Cancer of Head

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Cancer of Head in 112 studies

Amifostine: A phosphorothioate proposed as a radiation-protective agent. It causes splenic vasodilation and may block autonomic ganglia.
amifostine : An organic thiophosphate that is the S-phospho derivative of 2-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol. A prodrug for the free thiol, WR-1065, which is used as a cytoprotectant in cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Professionals discussed a novel treatment (Irinotecan) for advanced colorectal cancers; a unique anticancer agent (Docetaxel) effective in hard-to-treat head and neck cancer; a highly active neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen for operable breast cancer; and a cytoprotective agent (Amifostine) capable of protecting normal tissue from radiation and chemotherapeutic toxicity."3.69Highlights of the Eighth European Cancer Conference.

"The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) is the measure of anatomical changes associated with oral mucositis. Patients scores will be compared to historical data of patient progression.~RTOG Scoring Criteria- Grade 0(none)- No change over baseline Grade 1(mild)- Irritation, may experience slight pain, not requiring analgesic Grade 2(moderate)- Patchy mucositis that may produce inflammatory serosanguinitis discharge; may experience moderate pain requiring analgesia Grade 3(severe) -Confluent, fibrinous mucositis, may include severe pain requiring narcotic Grade 4(life-threatening)-Ulceration, hemorrhage, or necrosis" (NCT02399228)
