Özet

Background/Purpose: An experimental study was performed to modify the healing response in caustic esophageal burns to prevent stricture development. Two different agents with different modes of actions, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), were studied. CAPE has antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and antimitotic properties. EGF has known properties in supporting wound healing and in protecting esophagus from injuries.
