Description
After surgical removal of a carcinoma of the breast, 79 women received postoperative telecobalt-60 irradiation as out-patients. Prior to irradiation high doses of venoruton intens (1500 mg HR/die) were administered in order to obtain radioprotective properties of the skin, the subcutaneous fatty tissue and the lymphatic system of the irradiated regions. A strikingly small number of brachial oedemas and subcutaneous indurations following telecobalt-60 irradiation was found under HR treatment. Irradiation was carried out in the out-patient department with relatively high single doses without interruptions caused by radiotherapy. The high doses of HR did not entail any side-effects. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
In einer ambulanten Untersuchungsreihe wurden 79 Patientinnen nach einem operativ entfernten Mamma-Ca einer Telekobalt-60-Nachbestrahlung unterzogen. Dabei wurde Venoruton intens in hoher Dosierung (1500 mg HR/die) gegeben, um eine Strahlenschutzwirkung der Haut, des subkutanen Fettgewebes sowie am lymphatischen Gefaesssystem der bestrahlten Regionen zu erzielen. Es wurde eine auffallend niedrige Zahl von Armoedemen und subkutanen Indurationen nach Telekobalt-60-Therapie unter der Behandlung mit HR festgestellt. Die Bestrahlungsserien konnten ambulant mit relativ hohen Einzeldosen ohne strahlungsbedingte Unterbrechungen durchgefuehrt werden. Die hohe Dosierung von HR fuehrte zu keinen Nebenwirkungen.
