Abstract
Italian
15 patients affected with advanced mammary carcinoma have been treated with triethylene-thio-phosphoramide (Thio-Tepa). The drug, which has practically no damaging side-effects at the doses employed, allows, in the majority of the cases, considerable improvements; in some patients a regression of the neoplastic lesions (especially lymphoglandular and pleuro-pulmonary) has been obtained. Favourable results, especially with regard to the duration, have been obtained by the association of chemotherapy and endocrino-surgical operations.
The reasons for the use of Thio-Tepa in 14 patients during the intervention of breast removal and in the days immediately following it, are presented and discussed.
