Abstract
Aim. To study the efficacy of the use of the immunomodulator «Thymocin» in patients with disseminated breast cancer.
Material and Methods. The subject of the study were 36 patients with disseminated breast cancer observed in the conditions of the Department of Mammology and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and the Department of Chemotherapy of the SI «Republican Cancer Research Center» of the MHSPP of Tajikistan. All patients were prescribed the immunomodulatory drug «Thymocin».
Research results. With the use of Thymocin in patients, indicators of immunity returned to normal, an increase in the concentration of β-endorphin was observed. The physical condition of patients with disseminated breast cancer also improved, as assessed by the modified Karnovsky scale.
Conclusions. The use of thymocin immunomodulator in the complex therapy of patients with BC does not require large material costs, special equipment or tools, is cost-effective and affordable. Does not have toxic properties, can significantly reduce the threshold of pain sensitivity in patients with a generalized tumor process, thereby improving the quality of life of these patients.
