    Notes: Abstract  The goal of the project was to integrate essential elements of palliative care into the regular duties of an internal ward located in a general hospital serving a rural area. To achieve this goal, the medical and nursing staff was moderately expanded, which was made possible by a grant from the Deutsche Krebshilfe, and training and supervision were instituted. Patients with malignant diseases in advanced and terminal phases were enrolled in the project and evaluated using a specifically designed documentation system. On average, 8.5 (18%) of the 46 beds on the ward were occupied by patients being cared for as part of the project at any one time. Effective relief of pain, nausea and respiratory distress were documented. For those dying in the hospital, a single room and the presence of family members were possible in the majority of cases. A high impact on the team became apparent through an anonymous questionnaire given during supervision. The project shows that it is possible to integrate palliative care into the work of a regular internal medical ward, with positive consequences for the patients and the team.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer Phase-II-Studie wurden 52 Patienten nach modifiziert radikaler Mastektomie wegen eines primären Mammacarcinoms und ohne klinische Zeichen von Fernmetastasen auf Grund ihres erhöhten Wiedererkrankungsrisiko mit 6 Cyclen Adriamycin-Endoxan adjuvant-systemisch behandelt. Die Hälfte der Patienten erhielt nach Randomisation eine zusätzliche Immuntherapie mit Levamisol. Ein Vergleich der gewonnenen Ergebnisse mit den in der Literatur berichteten Daten zeigt, daß die Rate für das krankheitsfreie Überleben im unteren Bereich der berichteten Ergebnisse anderer Gruppen liegt, während die Gesamtüberlebensrate vergleichbar mit den günstigsten mitgeteilten Ergebnissen liegt. Die unspezifische Immuntherapie mit Levamisol hatte keinen Einfluß auf die Prognose.
    Notes: Summary In a phase II study after radical mastectomy for primary breast cancer with no signs of metastases, but a high risk of recurrence, 52 patients were treated with six courses of adriamycin-cyclophosphamide as adjuvant systemic therapy; half of the patients were randomly selected to receive additional immunotherapy with levamisole. A comparison of the actuarial survival curves for disease-free and overall survival with data from the literature show that disease-free survival is in the lower range of the data reported, while overall survival is equal to the most favourable reported results. Immunotherapy with levamisole had no effect.
