Abstract
We treated 34 radiation-induced superficial fibrotic lesions with pentoxifylline and vitamin E for 3 months. Mean surface area of the lesions decreased from 112 to 65 cm(2) after treatment (P<0.001). A subgroup of 21 fibrotic lesions received the medications for 6 months, in which surface area decreased from 80 to 27 cm(2) (P<0.001). Pentoxifylline-vitamin E combination improved radiation-induced fibrosis.Entities:
