[Rehabilitative and supportive therapy for oncologic patients].

The results of treatment in 674 oncological patients in a special department of accessory therapy have been studied. The patients admitted were previously subjected to various kinds of radical surgery. The analysis has evidenced that due to a careful dynamic exploration of patients and pathogenetic therapy with a protective regimen and labor therapy, the results of surgical treatment in patients with cancer of the stomach, lung and mammary gland were found to be considerably improved. This is especially evident from observations over patients with lung cancer. Among 168 patients followed up since 1965 up to date 126 patients (75%) show no signs of tumor recurrence. Thus, there can be no doubts as to the rationality of further elaboration of rehabilitation measures in oncological patients.
