In this article, we will discuss Palifermin and Potential for Stimulation of Tumor Growth. So, let’s get started.
Palifermin and Potential for Stimulation of Tumor Growth
The safety and efficacy of Palifermin have not been established in patients with non-
hematologic malignancies. The effects of Palifermin on stimulation of KGF receptor-
expressing, non-hematopoietic tumors in patients are not known. Palifermin has been
shown to enhance the growth of human epithelial tumor cell lines in vitro and to increase the rate of tumor cell line growth in a human carcinoma xenograft model.
