[Correction of trace element metabolism in patients with breast cancer during radiation therapy].
Certain mechanisms of pathogenesis of response to radiation and procedures for aborting them have been investigated. The study included 162 patients with breast tumors receiving radiation therapy. A new method of correcting radiation response was developed on the basis of evidence pointing to a radiation-induced shift in trace element levels toward heavy metal accumulation. The latter was effectively corrected and radiation damage was decreased due to the use of 33% solution of dimexide and the trilon B metal complex. It is suggested that radiation-induced changes in trace elements levels be studied as an indicator of response to treatment and its effectiveness in cancer patients.
