Reinforcing radiotherapy of gallbladder cancer with aclarubicin and neocarzinostatin.
Cancer of the gallbladder is radioresistant. When a 59-year-old woman was found to have an inoperable cancer of the gallbladder, 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.
