amifostine anhydrous and Cancer of Rectum

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Cancer of Rectum in 13 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
"Radiation colitis was assessed by clinical, endoscopic and histolopathological criteria."2.75Randomized phase II exploratory study of prophylactic amifostine in cancer patients who receive radical radiotherapy to the pelvis. ( Bai, M; Batistatou, A; Briasoulis, E; Capizzello, A; Christodoulou, D; Karavasilis, V; Katsanos, KH; Panelos, I; Tolis, C; Tsekeris, P; Tsianos, EV, 2010)
"A total of 92 patients with colorectal cancer or gastric cancer were enrolled, and randomly assigned to receive amifostine (500 mg/m2)(amifostine group, 46 patients) or glutamine (1500 mg/m2) (control group, 46 patients) just before oxaliplatin infusion."2.73[Prophylactic effect of amifostine on oxaliplatin-related neurotoxicity in patients with digestive tract tumors]. ( Fan, QX; Lu, P; Wang, LX; Wang, RL; Wang, X; Zong, H, 2008)
"Peripheral lymphocytes of twelve rectal cancer patients who had undergone postoperative radiochemotherapy 2-3 years ago were investigated for residual chromosomal damage using 24-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (24-color FISH)."2.71Residual chromosomal damage after radiochemotherapy with and without amifostine detected by 24-color FISH. ( Claussen, U; Dreidax, M; Dunst, J; Kuechler, A; Liehr, T; Pigorsch, SU; Wendt, TG, 2003)
" 5-FU chemotherapy was administered as 120-hours continuous infusion in the first and fifth radiation week via a central venous catheter in a daily dosage of 1,000 mg/m2."2.69Intermittent use of amifostine during postoperative radiochemotherapy and acute toxicity in rectal cancer patients. ( Dunst, J; Müller, AC; Pigorsch, S; Reese, T; Semlin, S, 2000)
