“…Sulfhydryl free radical scavengers (43)(44)(45), growth-stimulating cytokines (46), antioxidant enzymes (23,24,47), Pilocarpine (44) and other classes of radioprotectors have been developed in attempts to find differences between mechanisms of handling the oxidative stress induced by chemoradiation in tumor and normal tissue.…”

“…Recently, another FGF family member, palifermin that like velafermin induces proliferation and differentiation of a wide variety of epithelial cells and has cytoprotective properties for mucosal tissues, but unlike velafermin does not induce mesenchymal cell proliferation has been investigated in a mouse fractionated radiation mucositis model (Dorr et al 2001, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c, 2005a, 2005b, 2005c, Dorr 2002. In these rodent studies, Dorr and coworkers irradiated the center of the lower tongue, monitored mucosal ulceration, and found that when fractionated radiation (3 Gy/day) was delivered in two cycles on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and days 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, palifermin was efficacious when administered on days 4 and 11 (Dorr et al 2005a).…”

“…In these rodent studies, Dorr and coworkers irradiated the center of the lower tongue, monitored mucosal ulceration, and found that when fractionated radiation (3 Gy/day) was delivered in two cycles on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and days 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, palifermin was efficacious when administered on days 4 and 11 (Dorr et al 2005a). Dorr further suggested that these time points coincide with the time of onset of accelerated repopulation of oral mucosal cells although he could not rule out that the dose scheduling potentially maximized the growth factor's effects over the break in radiation treatment (Dorr et al 2005a). In any case, our finding that velafermin's optimal scheduling is in striking agreement with Dorr's palifermin result, further supports the use of velafermin treatment at the end of each radiation cycle.…”

“…Celles-ci soulèvent cependant la question difficile d'établir des protocoles d'administration en considérant la complexité de l'irradiation délivrée en radiothérapie et les effets possibles des facteurs de croissance sur les cellules tumorales. Le keratinocyte growth factor (Kepivance TM ) est le seul facteur trophique actuellement utilisé en clinique contre les lésions de la muqueuse orale lors des traitements cytotoxiques des cancers hématologiques (irradiation et chimiothérapie) [7].…”
