[Clinical and electrophysiological examination of brachial plexus in females after radiotherapy and surgical treatment for breast cancer].

Clinical and electrophysiological examinations of the brachial plexus was carried out in 61 women after radiotherapy following operation for breast cancer. A number of clinical abnormalities were found such as hypeaesthesia, hyporeflexia, muscular atrophy, lymphoedema of the extremity which were confirmed by electrophysiological examination.

[Results of combined therapy in patients with nonseminomatous testicular tumors].

The results of multidrug therapy of 44 male patients with non-seminomatous testicular tumours are discussed.

Thirty two patients (73%) are followed up between 7 and 103 months and survived, complete remission is noted in 29 patients (66%) including 6 patients who survived over 5 years.

Breast and subcutaneous plasmoblastic infiltrations in the course of plasmoblastoma.

In two female patients aged 37 and 66 y breast and subcutaneous plasmoblastic infiltrations developed in the course of therapy for plasmoblastoma. In the first patient with plasmoblastic leukemia those infiltrations occurred after 6-month therapy. In the second patient progression of the disease was noted after 30 months of treatment.

[Evaluation of the efficiency of the immune system after immunostimulation in patients with breast cancer].

67 patients with mammary carcinoma were submitted to an immunological control examination. This control comprised 14 tests which determined the efficacy of the immune systems, among others: activity of complement, properdin, lysozyme, and beta-lysin, the rate of immunoglobulins, and the behavior of leucergy, rosette tests, NBT, BLT, and tuberculin test. The thoroughly executed examinations did not show any significant difference between patients with active neoplasms and patients in remission stage.
