azulene/breast neoplasms

BACKGROUND Oral mucositis is a frequent complication, but is poorly studied among patients with solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to clarify the incidence rate of oral mucositis in Japanese breast cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy(FEC100). METHODS From June 2007 to

UNASSIGNED The efficacy of sodium azulene sulfonate L-glutamine (GA) in treating oral mucositis caused by the administration of anticancer agents has not been previously elucidated. Therefore, this prospective comparative study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of GA in treating oral mucositis

The overall objectives of this research are to (i) develop azulene-based positron emission tomography (PET) probes and (ii) image COX2 as a potential biomarker of breast cancer. Several lines of research have demonstrated that COX2 is overexpressed in breast cancer and that its presence correlates
