[Radiotherapy of stomach cancer under conditions of severe exogenous hypoxia (8% O2)].

Irradiation of 116 stomach cancer patients was performed under the conditions of hypoxia caused by the inhalation of a gaseous mixture containing (8 +/- 0.5%) O2; irradiation of 108 patients was performed in the air. The method of hypoxic radiotherapy of stomach cancer is described.

[Effect of short-term gaseous hypoxia (7.4-8.2% O2) on the body of normal subjects and cancer patients].

A clinical investigation of the tolerance of a short-term (15-30 min) normobaric gaseous hypoxia caused by the inhalation of mixtures containing 7.4-8.2% O2 was conducted.

[Dynamics of the immunological indices in lymphogranulomatosis following splenectomy and radiation therapy].

The dynamics of immune indices in 38 patients with Hodgkin's disease, following splenectomy and radiation therapy is discussed. The early stage of the disease is found to involve changes in immune response which become more pronounced in the course of generalization of tumor process and development of intoxication symptoms. Correlations between the frequency of spleen and lymph nodes lesions below the diaphragm, histological pattern of tumor and decline in immunological vigor are shown.
