Abstract
The study was concerned with the functional condition of the sympatho-adrenal system in 80 patients with cancer of the esophagus and proximal part of the stomach who had undergone surgery and received combined treatment, coupled with measures aimed at correcting the sympatho-adrenal system in some cases. Treatment with phenformin, decaris and S-methylmethionine was shown to produce a favorable effect on certain stages of catecholamine synthesis and metabolism as well as on immunologic indexes and hemodynamic stability.
