The authors have studied the 5 years' survival of 403 cases of mammary gland cancer without development of recurrences and metastases. In 205 out of them ether-nitrous oxide anesthesia and in 198 fluoroxene-nitrous oxide anesthesia were applied. Postoperative Thiophosphamide (Thio-TEP) was administered to all the patients. The main factors characterizing the compared groups were identical in both of them. It has been proved that 5 years survival of mammary gland cancer cases rises when the patients undergo a complex treatment, and during the operation they are subjected to fluoroxene and not to ether.
