    Notes: Summary In two patients with acute leukaemia, the development of progressive interstitial pulmonary fibrosis was observed following chemotherapy with BCNU, Cytoxan and Ara-C. The x-ray changes were accompanied by restrictive changes of pulmonary function and, later on, by severe hypoxia. Serologic tests did not reveal infection with cytomegaly virus or mycoplasma pneumoniae. These findings, together with reports in the literature, suggest a toxic effect of BCNU on the lung. The combination with Cyclophosphamide may contribute to this toxic reaction.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The effect of Levamisole on the human granulopoiesis was studied in patients randomized to receive, in addition to adjuvant chemotherapy for primary breast cancer, either no other treatment or additional unspecific immune therapy with Levamisole. The reaction of granulopoiesis to the cytostatic drugs, as characterized by changes of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), functional bone marrow granulocyte reserve, serial bone marrow cytology, and granulopoietic stem cells (CFU-C) in marrow and blood, was not affected by administration of Levamisole. The data support the concept that Levamisole has no direct effect on human bone marrow granulopoiesis, but that an allergic mechanism is involved in the pathogenesis of Levamisole-induced agranulocytosis. The expectation that Levamisole exerts a beneficial effect by stimulation of the granulopoiesis, as previously suggested for BCG and Corynebacterium parvum, could not be substantiated in our studies.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Laevamisol auf die menschliche Granulopoese wurde bei Patientinnen untersucht, die nach operativer Behandlung eines primären Mammakarzinoms adjuvant chemotherapiert und bei denen ein Teil zusätzlich mit Laevamisol als einem unspezifischen Immunstimulans behandelt wurden. Die Reaktion der Granulopoese auf die zytostatische Therapie,- Veränderungen des peripheren Granulozytenpools, der funktionellen Granulozytenreserve des Markes, der Knochenmarkszytologie und der granulopoetischen Stammzellen (CFU-C) in Mark und peripherem Blut, — wurden durch die Gabe von Laevamisol nicht beeinflu\t. Diese Untersuchungen stehen mit der Vorstellung im Einklang, da\ Laevamisol keine direkte Schädigung der Granulopoese verursacht, sondern da\ ein allergischer Mechanismus der Laevamisol-Agranulocytose zugrunde liegt. Eine günstige Wirkung durch Stimulation der Granulopoese, wie sie für BCG und Corynebacterium parvum angenommen wurde, konnte für Laevamisol unter den Bedingungen dieser Studie nicht gefunden werden.

    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.
