Amino acids and their derivatives in tumour tissue from patients with breast cancer treated with Ukrain. Part VI.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the amino acids pool and their derivatives in tumour tissue of ten patients with breast cancer, treated in the preoperative phase with Ukrain. The control group consisted of five patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain. The data obtained indicate that Ukrain influences cancerous tissue, as demonstrated at the level of amino acids.

Amino acids and their derivatives in blood plasma of patients with breast cancer treated with Ukrain. Part V.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the free amino acids pool in blood plasma in ten patients with breast cancer, treated in the preoperative phase with the drug. The control group consisted of five patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain before mastectomy. The data obtained from these studies indicate that Ukrain positively influences the metabolism of amino acids and their derivatives.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part IV. Electromicroscopic and cytochemical evaluation.

The present studies were undertaken to evaluate by light and by electron microscopy the influence of Ukrain on the morphology of breast cancer. The studies were carried out on material obtained from ten patients with breast cancer, treated preoperatively with Ukrain. Control material for the studies was obtained from patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part III. The immune system.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on immune parameters in ten patients with breast cancer, treated with the drug in the preoperative phase. The control group consisted of eight patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain before mastectomy. The data were compared with the parameters obtained in 15 healthy blood donors.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part II. Hormonal profile.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the hormonal status of ten patients with breast cancer, treated in the preoperative phase by Ukrain. A control group consisted of eight patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive the drug before mastectomy. The data were compared to those obtained in ten healthy women of similar age.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part I. Clinical and laboratory parameters.

Studies were undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on clinical and laboratory parameters in ten patients with breast cancer treated with the drug in the preoperative phase. The control group was composed of eight patients of similar age and advancement of the disease who did not receive Ukrain before mastectomy. Data from the present studies indicate that the drug is distinctly helpful from the surgical viewpoint by increasing tumour hardness and enlargement of metastatic lymph nodes.

Influence of Ukrain on breast cancer.

The influence of Ukrain on breast cancer was studied in ten women and monitored in each patient by clinical examination, mammography, ultrasonography, histopathology and immunofluorescence in the tissue material obtained after radical mastectomy performed ten days after discontinuation of the treatment. Observations accumulated during the study and analytical data support the view that Ukrain, by changing the antigenic expression of malignant cells, make them recognizable for the immune system which rejects them in a host-versus graft manner.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer (introductory remarks).

Studies were undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the postoperative period in patients with breast cancer. The group under Ukrain medication was comprised of 10 patients in stage T1-3NO-1MO. The control group was comprised of 22 patients in the same clinical and laboratory staging as those treated with Ukrain in the first year of postoperative follow-up metastatic lymph nodes were observed in one patient from the control group.
