[Study of body composition by potassium-40 measurement in patients with breast and uterine cancer].
Total potassium was assayed in 150 normal weight and obese females (cervical carcinoma-52, endometrial carcinoma-25 and breast cancer-73) by measurements of 40K spontaneous radiation in a low-background chamber. Control group included 30 healthy and 25 obese females. Computations of body cell and extracellular mass and fat were carried out on the basis of the said measurements. Extracellular fluid volume was measured in 38 patients by X-ray fluorescence method using sodium bromide. The results pointed to a body cell mass deficit matched by increased extracellular mass due to a higher fat level in patients with breast, endometrial and cervical carcinoma. The said correlation was particularly pronounced in obese patients. The beneficial effect of treatment was more often observed in patients with normal body weight.
[Remote results of preoperative large fractionation gamma-therapy for breast cancer].
The results of using large fractionation irradiation preoperatively in 131 breast cancer patients are reported. A focal dosage for a primary tumor was found to be 2400 rad (1350 ret) and 1800 rad (1100 ret) for axillary lymph nodes, which given by 600 rad in a day neither effect the course of surgical intervention nor increase the number of the postoperative complications. A five-year cure with stage I-II was 66,3 +/- 11,1%, with stage III--47,9 +/- 7,3%. The whole course of radical treatment lasted on the average for 41-46 days.
