RESUMEN
Endogenous intoxication and immune insufficiency accompany neoplastic process. Complex therapy for cancer worsens these pathologic conditions by its adverse effects (AE) and thus complicates treatment. Efferent therapy can provide continuity of antineoplastic therapy with normalization of hemostasis and decreasing the rate of AE and their intensity. Efferent therapy meaningfully increases patient's quality of life and decreases the needed drug support when used as a part of complex therapy. Proper use of efferent therapy can markedly increase efficacy of surgical treatment, radiation therapy and drug therapy.

The purpose of this study was to establish the role of scintimammography with 99mTs-technetril for predicting pathological status of regional lymph nodes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In 123 primary patients with locally advanced breast cancer stage cT1-4N0-3M0 there was performed scintimammography: before treatment and after 2-3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy 63 patients; after 2-3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and before surgery--in 5 patients; after 4-6 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy--55 women. All patients were divided into 2 groups: the first included 68 patients whom scintimammography was performed before and after 2-3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy; the second--60 women whom scintimammography was performed before treatment and before surgery. In patients of the first group positive results were obtained in 16 (23.5%), negative--26 (38.3%), false positive--16 (23.5%) and false negative--10 (14.7%) cases. Sensitivity, specificity, overall accuracy, positive predictive value and negative results were 61.5%, 61.9%, 61.7%, 50% and 72.2%, respectively. During the scintimammography after 4-6 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy positive results were observed in 17 (28.3%) negative--18 (30%), false positive--19 (31.7%) and false negative--6 (10%) of patients. Thus, the sensitivity, specificity, overall accuracy, positive predictive value and negative results amounted to 73.9%, 48.6%, 58.3%, 47.2%, 75% respectively.
