title: Reduced mortality in cancer patients after administration of alkoxyglycerols.
abstract: A regression of tumor growth is observed when alkoxyglycerols are administered prior to radiation treatment of patients suffering from cancer of the uterine cervix. This regression is remarkably higher for patients below the age of 60 years than for those over 60. The regression has been demonstrated by a change in the quotient between the incidence of early and advanced stages.
