Comparison of mitomycin-c and heparin affects in experimental corrosive esophagitis on rats

In corrosive esophagitis due to NaOH, heparin treatment is more effective in inflammation and granulation formation, mitomycin-c treatment is more effective in preventing the collagen accumulation step. Heparin decreases the tissue damage by preventing the inflammation and granulation formation; and prevents collagen accumulation and stricture development. As completing the effect of heparin; mitomycin prevents fibroblastic activity inhibition with direct collagen accumulation and stricture development strongly.
