A 9 year-old girl
had felt marked pain below the right knee joint in November 1983 following a
slight injury. X-ray revealed Ewing’s sarcoma in the proximal portion of the
right fibula. Hospital treatment included chemotherapy and cobalt therapy.
X-rays confirmed that the patient’s tumour had not responded to radiation or
chemotherapy and the tumour mass increased rapidly. One month after the end of
chemotherapy, UKRAIN treatment was started at a dose of 5 mg i.m. for a total
of 10 injections, combined with regional deep
hyperthermia. The first series of UKRAIN therapy
included three identical courses with a two-week pause between them. Six
series of UKRAIN treatment were administered over the course of one year.
Repeated x-rays showed reduction of the tumour mass.
