[External respiration in radiation treatment of patients with breast cancer].
The data on the ventilatory status in 119 patients subjected to combined therapy are reported. Roentgenodynamic investigation of the ventilation indicated changes in the mechanism of the latter on account of a limitation of the ventilatory function of muscle realizing inhalation. Ventilatory disturbances induced by irradiation of the chest are accompanied with functional compensation. Normal gas metabolism is provided by hyperfunction of the lung and respiratory muscles on the intact side.
