Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Cancer putrefaction, though infrequent, poses significant clinical challenges due to foul odor.
  • Managing necrotic cancer lesions requires effective interventions to improve patient well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic pastes in controlling putrefaction in advanced cancers.
  • To assess the impact of antibiotic paste application on the quality of life (QOL) for patients with putrefactive cancer lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed 5% antibiotic pastes using sodium polyacrylate and antibiotic solutions.
  • Applied these pastes to putrefactive lesions in seven cancer patients (4 rectal, 2 breast, 1 tongue).
  • Concomitantly applied anticancer pastes in some cases.

Main Results:

  • Prompt control of putrefaction was achieved in all treated cases.
  • Significant improvement in patient quality of life (QOL) was observed.
  • Concomitant use of anticancer pastes demonstrated remarkable effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Antibiotic pastes are an effective treatment for managing cancer putrefaction.
  • This therapeutic approach can significantly improve QOL for affected patients.
  • Sulperazone may be beneficial for overcoming beta-lactamase resistance in prolonged treatments.
