title: [Relieving effect of sodium thiosulfate on transarterial chemotherapeutic emesis].
abstract: It was reported that sodium thiosulfate (STS) was contributed to antivomiting effect in 20 transarterial chemotherapic patients. The antitumor sensitivity of STS (< 500 micrograms/ml) adjuncting to the ADM, MMC, CDDP and other four agens (1 x PPC/ml) individually on two tumor cells studied by MTT test in vitro and no antitumor activity of adjuvant of STS were obviously obliterated (P > 0.05) except for CDDP clinically, to comparing the adjuncting effects of STS (iv. 30 min ahead) or metochlopramidum (im. 30 min ahead) to ADM, MMC and CDDP on HCC (40 cases), the degrees of vomiting in hepatoma patient after transcatheter arterial chemoem bolization with ADM, MMC and CDDP were statisticaly analysec. It have been proven that STS was contributed to the low incidence of vomiting and superior to metocloe pramidum, without worsening of the chemotherapy of HCC. It is worth futher studying adjuvant STS to other antitumor drugs and exploring potential application of chematherapy in cancer.
