"This study was undertaken to determine whether standard salivary gland scintigraphy may be used for the objective assessment of salivary gland sialogogues, in particular oral pilocarpine, in the treatment of post-radiotherapy xerostomia."3.70Does salivary gland scintigraphy predict response to pilocarpine in patients with post-radiotherapy xerostomia? ( Allan, E; Collins, CD; Cooper, RA; Cowan, RA; Gupta, NK; Hillel, PG; Jeans, SP; Owens, SE; Roberts, JK; Slevin, NJ, 1999)
"Xerostomia was measured on a linear analog scale."2.71Postradiotherapy quality of life for head-and-neck cancer patients is independent of xerostomia. ( Cummings, B; Lockwood, G; O'Sullivan, B; Ringash, J; Waldron, J; Warde, P, 2005)
"Pilocarpine is a useful agent as a treatment of radiation-induced xerostomia in head and neck cancer patients."2.43Evaluation, prevention and management of radiotherapy-induced xerostomia in head and neck cancer patients. ( de Castro, G; Federico, MH, 2006)
"The survival of squamous carcinoma tumor cells, line SCC-25, following the exposure of cells to pilocarpine at concentration of 0-100 ng/ml given for 0-1 h prior to radiation at dose of 0-20 Gy was determined by an in vitro colony-formation assay."1.30Pilocarpine, a salivary gland radioprotectant, does not inhibit cytotoxic effect of gamma-radiation on squamous cell carcinoma in vitro. ( Herman, TS; MacDonald, JR; Roberts, K; Woynarowska, B, 1997)
