Abstract

It is reported about the clinical testing of the "Cancer Multistep Therapy" (CMT) by M. von Ardenne (CMT Concept '74). It was made in 1974/75 on 42 tumour-patients. At first we demonstrate in this publication clinical and paraclinical findings, which may be relevant for the therapy-standard, but the results of the therapy-efficiency will be given later. On the base of findings and observations we verify a program-true employment of the CMT Concept '74 and we demonstrate the pathophysiological reaction-patterns in connection with the longterm-hyperglycemia (glucose-utilization, spontaneous hyperthermy with tachycardia, spontaneous leukocytosis with typical deviations in the hematogram). These reaction-patterns are described particularly as "general adaptation syndrome" (Selye). Further we give an assessment of compatibility, tolerableness, and practicability of the CMT.
