amifostine anhydrous and Cancer of Larynx

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Cancer of Larynx in 2 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.

"Oral candidiasis is suggested as an objective, early, though indirect, endpoint for amifostine's radioprotective effect on salivary glands."2.71Oral candidiasis in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy with amifostine cytoprotection.

"As for acute xerostomia, patients with laryngeal cancer were excluded from evaluation."2.71Randomized phase III trial of postoperative radiochemotherapy +/- amifostine in head and neck cancer. Is there evidence for radioprotection? ( Fehlauer, F; Feyerabend, T; Hinke, A; Mahlmann, B; Marx, M; Richter, E; Sommer, K; Vacha, P, 2003)
