Tóm tắt

Dexrazoxane has been in clinical use for more than 25 years for prevention of cardiotoxicity in anthracycline based anticancer therapy. However, we discovered another property of the compound, i.e. the ability to prevent the devastating tissue necrosis after accidental extravasation of anthracyclines. The preclinical and clinical studies leading to the clinical implementation of Savene™ (dexrazoxane) as the first and only proven antidote in anthracycline extravasation are described in short.
