amifostine anhydrous and Esophageal Neoplasms

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Esophageal Neoplasms in 5 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.

Esophageal Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the ESOPHAGUS.
