We examined 240 patients (with late radiation-induced injuries to the skin, underlying soft tissues and internal organs) who had undergone radiotherapy or combination therapy for breast cancer, cervical cancer, uterine body cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma at different times. Therapy for radiation-induced injuries developed and being performed at MRRC with the use of pharmacological agents (analgetics, neuroleptics and narcotics), so-called basis therapy, in combination with reflexotherapy may considerably reduce psycho-emotional and pain symptoms of late radiation-induced injuries. The analgesic effect is achieved after the first 3-5 sessions of therapy including reflexo-laser treatment. As a result, the use of analgesics and narcotics can be reduced. This therapy improves the quality of life for patients: they can attend to themselves and add more physical activity to their life. The effects of basis therapy alone (50 patients) and in combination with reflex treatment (46 patients) on immunity were compared. Immunity data of 70 practically healthy people made up the control group. It restores adaptation mechanisms while reducing immune hyperactivation and immunodepression. By adding reflexo-laser treatment, basis therapy appeared more successful restoring immunological disorders.
