The present invention relates to methods for treatment (particularly the prevention or suppression) of formation or reformation of adhesions, particularly in the peritoneal or pelvic cavities resulting from wound, surgery, infection, inflammation or trauma. The invention provides methods useful for inhibiting, suppressing or ameliorating adhesion formation in mammals, including humans wherein an individual is administered a compound selected from the group consisting of sunitinib malate, axitinib, semaxanib, sorafenib, ZD1839, and erlotinib. The invention applies to human and veterinary applications. The inventive method has been shown to be especially effective in preventing adhesion formation in the peritoneum following surgery. |
