fluorouracil and Ear Diseases

fluorouracil has been researched along with Ear Diseases in 8 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.

Ear Diseases: Pathological processes of the ear, the hearing, and the equilibrium system of the body.

"The use of applied 5-Fluorouracil is effective in the treatment of cholesteatoma."7.67[A new medical therapeutic approach to cholesteatoma. 5-fluorouracil in local treatment]. ( Boniver, R; Hutten, R, 1987)
"5-Fluorouracil was introduced in the early 1960s as a topical chemotherapeutic agent and has become increasingly accepted because of its efficacy, economy, and relative absence of side effects in treating many pre-cancerous conditions, certain benign and malignant tumors, and dermatoses."5.27The topical use of 5-fluorouracil in the ear in the management of cholesteatoma and excessive mucous secretion.
