Therapy and prophylaxis of radiation-induced side effects following amputation of the mammary glands

Abstract

After surgical removal of a carcinoma of the breast, 79 women received postoperative telecobalt-60 irradiation as out-patients. Prior to irradiation high doses of venoruton intens (1500 mg HR/die) were administered in order to obtain radioprotective properties of the skin, the subcutaneous fatty tissue and the lymphatic system of the irradiated regions. A strikingly small number of brachial oedemas and subcutaneous indurations following telecobalt-60 irradiation was found under HR treatment. Irradiation was carried out in the out-patient department with relatively high single doses without interruptions caused by radiotherapy. The high doses of HR did not entail any side-effects.
