Abstract

The severity of pain and changes in the adaptational status were studied in patients with brain metastases or cervical cancer receiving xenon therapy after whole brain radiotherapy or after radical hysterectomy. Hematological indicators of the nature and tensiton of general nonspecific adaptional reactions of the body (ARs) by Garkavi-Kvakina-Ukolova, the QLQ-C15 questionnaire and a 10-point graphic visual analogue scale for the assessment of the intensity of pain were used. Xenon caused concurrent reduce in the intensity of pain and improvement of characteristics of ARs in all studied patients. The results suggested an association between the analgesic effect of xenon and the normalization of neuroimmune processes and reduced damaging effects of special antitumor treatment on the body under the influence of xenon.
