[New aspects in the treatment of breast cancer (author's transl)].
The specific treatment of primary breast carcinoma in the future may depend on viral genes in the development of antiviral substances, or a specific chemotherapeutic method. In this manner the turnover rate of the RNS virus is successfully inhibited (as the preceding communicated observations about the probably produced inhibition effect of rifampicin derivates of streptovarizin complexes). Prophylactically, by familiar breast cancer, breast feeding must be prohibited so that a supposed virus factor would not transfer with the milk. So far we hope that a supposed virus diagnosis of the primary tumor leads to decreased surgical interventions (tumorectomy, radical mastectomy), and technical as well as high energy postradiotherapy. This would not only give a smaller psychologic shock to the patient (small operation trauma) but would also decrease the complications (arm edema, movement restriction). This opinion now appears to effect international thinking after radical and subradical surgery have not given better results. For the late stage there is modern chemotherapy, combined with proper radiotherapy treatment of painful skeletal metastases, eventually also brain metastases which can now be successfully irradiated. Whether better late results are obtained by the early chemotherapy as well as the improvement of the immunity reaction quickly after sugical intervention (modified radical mastectomy) will be seen in the near future.
