Abstract |
Two patients with lung metastases are presented who were submitted to a combined low-dose radiotherapy and adriamycin monotherapy with good palliative results. The mode of action as well as the experimental examination results are discussed. The ineffectiveness of single low-dose chemotherapy is demonstrated by the non-response of lung metastases beyond the irradiation fields ( heart block, diaphragm). Both patients were resistant to chemotherapy.
