[Teleradiotherapy of laryngeal cancer using a gas hypoxic mixture (GHM-10)]

A total of 96 laryngeal cancer patients were studied. A comparative analysis of short-term therapeutic results was performed in 2 similar groups: patients receiving radiotherapy without GHM-10 (50) and those receiving radiotherapy with the use of GHM-10 containing 10% of oxygen and 90% of nitrogen (46). Irradiation methods and general tactics of the patients management in both groups were identical. No differences in the short-term results were noted. Radiation reactions of the healthy tissues were less pronounced and noted less frequently in the patients on radiotherapy with the use of GHM-10.
