In order to verify the principle of indirect control a tumor on the base of morphogenic cells distraction from it, the 114 patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma were treated with subtotal half-body (low part) irradiation at low doses (0,1 Gy x 10 for 3 weeks or 3Gy x 3 daily), and obtained data were compared with that for 190 patients received conventional local irradiation of the tumor (2 Gy x 23 daily). The surgery and chemotherapy components were equalized in both groups. The 34 % and 11% of 5-years survival was obtained at low dose half body irradiation for primary and relapsed patients in comparison with conventional local radiotherapy (7% and 0%). It is concluded, that reparation /regeneration processes being provoked artificially in normal tissues of cancer host are capable to compete remotely with tumor for the morphogenic/feeding cells originated from bone marrow and circulating with the blood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
