[Experience with glyciphonic ointment for malignant and precancerous lesions of the skin]

Skin was smeared with glyciphonic ointment containing 30% of methylphosphonic diglycidyl ether (Tatkhimfarmpreparaty Company) in 495 patients with histologically confirmed basalioma and 36 patients with senile keratosis. During daily application necrotic tissue was removed. Considerable decomposition of tumor occurred on day 6 or later. It took the wound 9-12, seldom, 15 days to heal, with scars forming on days 15-20. Stable cure was registered (5-7 yrs) in 492 patients with skin basalioma and all cases of senile keratosis. No changes in peripheral blood count or any skin-resorption side-effects were recorded. Several patients suffered hyperemia, edema, itching or local pain.
