[Radiotherapy combined with aclarubicin and neocarzinostatin in cancer of the gallbladder].
Cancer of the gallbladder is radioresistant. When a case of such was found inoperable, she was subjected to radiotherapy combined with aclarubicin and neocarzinostatin. Therapeutic effectiveness was confirmed at autopsy as she later succumbed to uterine cervical cancer. Thus, the present radiochemotherapeutic regimen would probably provide a means of overcoming those radioresistant inoperable malignancies. Intravenous administrations of appropriate antibiotics such as azthreonam and reniran may probably be helpful in the prevent ion and treatment of septic peritonitis possible during the course of reinforced radiotherapy of the abdomen.
