Abstract

The article covers the results of clinical application of a domestic drug based on recombinant tumor necrosis factor-alphathymosin-alpha1 (TNF-T) combined with chemotherapy FAC and РА during neoadjuvant treatment of patients with breast cancer IIB-IIIB stage. In contrast to the standard subcutaneous application method, the authors proposed peritumoral administration of TNF-T to maximize the drug’s action directly on the tumor, peritumoral tissue. TNF-T 200000 IU peritumorally on days 1–5 of each treatment course during chemotherapy showed significant increase in objective effect rate, including increase in frequency of complete regressions, and decrease in frequency and intensity of chemotherapy complications. Morphological examination revealed an increase rate of medical pathomorphosis grade III-IV, decreased number of microvessels in tumor in comparison with primary tumors. Study of immune status of patients in dynamics shows that the proposed method of peritumoral application of recombinant hybrid protein of tumor necrosis factor-alpha- thymosin-alpha1 has an immunocorrective effect because of its effect on T- and B-cell component of the immune system.
