| In this randomized prospective clinical trial hydrolytic enzymes were given addionally to radiation in abdominal cancer patients and compared with radiation only. The concomitant oral enzyme therapy improved the tolerance of the radiation significantly. The enzyme treated patients had less deterioration of general condition and skin symptomes and less patients discontinued radiation. It reduced the number of drugs needed for the treatment od radiation avderse effects, especially antiemetics, gastrointestinal drugs, antidepressives, tranquilizers and other psychopharmaceuticals, analgetics, spamolytics, diuretics and aldosteron antagonists. In most cases the enzyme therapy was well or very well tolerated. |
