  • Title: [Anatomical and surgical justification for selective catheterization of the thoracic lymphatic duct and thoracic arteries for infusion immunochemotherapy of breast cancer].
    Author: Travin AA, Kurchin VP.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1978 Apr; 120(4):3-6. PubMed ID: 654008.
    Abstract:
    An anatomo-topographic and operative study aimed at the elaboration of approaches and methods of the catheterization of the thoracic lympheduct and of the selective catheterization of the internal thoracic, external thoracic and acromiothoracic arteries for the regional infusion of activated proper lymphocytes and chemopreparations in breast cancer was carried out on 25 cadavers. An experimental injection of stained solutions proved that the selective catheterization of the thoracic arteries allows to create a significant concentration of injected drugs in the breast and regional lymphatic nodes without their propagation into adjacent regions, which is different from other methods of the regional chemotherapy in breast cancer.
