  • Title: [Radiation treatment with metronidazole in patients with oral mucosa cancer in the late stages].
    Author: Vorob'ev IuI, Limarova IV.
    Journal: Med Radiol (Mosk); 1983 Sep; 28(9):9-13. PubMed ID: 6621288.
    Abstract:
    Eighty patients with cancer of the oral mucosa at late stages were treated by a split course of gamma-beam therapy in two variants of dose fractionation as an independent therapeutic method. Metronidazole (at a summary dose of 30 g/m2) was given to 40 patients 3-4 h before irradiation. Short-term results of a 6-month-follow up have shown that radiation therapy with metronidazole improves the results. Six months after termination of gamma-beam therapy 30 patients have been alive, after radiation therapy with metronidazole 38 patients.
