fluorouracil and Cheilitis

fluorouracil has been researched along with Cheilitis in 14 studies

Fluorouracil: A pyrimidine analog that is an antineoplastic antimetabolite. It interferes with DNA synthesis by blocking the THYMIDYLATE SYNTHETASE conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid.
5-fluorouracil : A nucleobase analogue that is uracil in which the hydrogen at position 5 is replaced by fluorine. It is an antineoplastic agent which acts as an antimetabolite - following conversion to the active deoxynucleotide, it inhibits DNA synthesis (by blocking the conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid by the cellular enzyme thymidylate synthetase) and so slows tumour growth.

Cheilitis: Inflammation of the lips. It is of various etiologies and degrees of pathology.

"Forty patients with actinic cheilitis were treated with one of four modalities: topical fluorouracil, chemical peel with trichloroacetic acid, lip shave, or carbon dioxide laser ablation of the vermilion."5.06Actinic cheilitis. A prospective study comparing four treatment methods. ( Robinson, JK, 1989)
"Laser therapy appears the best option among nonsurgical approaches for actinic cheilitis, and PDT showed higher efficacy when sequentially combined with 5% imiquimod."5.05Treatments of actinic cheilitis: A systematic review of the literature. ( Cornacchia, L; Lai, M; Longo, C; Pampena, R; Pellacani, G; Peris, K, 2020)
"Actinic cheilitis is a common premalignant condition, significant for symptoms and potential development into invasive squamous cell carcinoma."2.40Actinic cheilitis. A treatment review. ( Curlin, MU; Dufresne, RG, 1997)
"Actinic cheilitis is a premalignant condition that may be symptomatic; it occurs predominantly on the lower lip and is caused by chronic exposure to sunlight."1.27Actinic cheilitis: treatment with the carbon dioxide laser. ( Roenigk, RK; Stanley, RJ, 1988)
"Histologic characteristics of squamous cell carcinoma include loss of cell organization and orientation, loss of intercellular bridges, presence of nuclear atypia and mitotic figures, and premature cell keratinization."1.27Skin lesions from sun exposure: a treatment guide.
