1010PPATHOMORPHISM IN SONODYNAMIC CHEMOTHERAPY DURING RADIATION TREATMENT OF CANCER OF THE ORAL MUCOSA

ABSTRACT Aim: Sonodynamic chemotherapy (SDCT) allows increasing antitumor effects, but morphologic response of tumors to that influence, including SDCT in distant gamma-therapy (DGT) for cancer of the oral mucosa (COM), is poorly studied. Methods: SDCT 5 mg platidiam+ solcoseryl gel was performed locally in tumor focus, ultrasound 0,88 MHz ±0,33%, I = 1,0W/cm2 (patent 2488412), between fractions of a single focal dose 1,2 + 1,2 Gy in DGT in 31 patients with COM Т2-4N0-2M0. 30 patients of the control group received DGT only. Tumor biopsies were studied by standard morphologic methods before the treatment and after a scheduled break at a dose of 40 isoGy. Results: Proportion of tumor stroma increased in SDCT + DGT group by 1,9 times in comparison with the index before the treatment, and by 1,6 times in comparison with the control. Mitotic activity of cells decreased by 3,9 and 1,9 times respectively (4,9 + 1,4% versus 19,0 + 1,1% and 9,5 + 1,3%, р Conclusions: SDCT provides suppression of biological aggressiveness of the tumor and significantly more pronounced antitumor effect in comparison with ionizing radiation alone.
