Hypertrophic Carcinoma of Epiglottis, Treated by Radium

Early-stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma of the epiglottis treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection.

copists have enabled detection of laryn− geal and pharyngeal cancer at an early stage, especially in Japan [1 ±3]. In addi− tion, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dis− section (ESD) [4] have recently been used for treatment of hypopharyngeal cancer at an early stage. In this report, we de− scribe for the first time a case of early− stage laryngeal carcinoma that was ...

Notes on Cases Treated with Radium

Evaluation of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy in patients with carcinoma of the lung [Persian]

The features of Hypertrophic pulmunary osteoarthropathy (HPOA) on radionuclide bone scintigraphy have been well described in case reports and small series of patients. The aim of this study was to investigate prospectively the prevalence and distribution of HPOA in a large series of patients with carcinoma of the lung. Two hundred and eleven patients aged 31-89 years (average age 66 years...

Pathological study of retinoblastoma treated by radon seeds and radium disks.

(1) Electro-magnetic vibration. Light. Roentgen rays. (2) Corpuscular radiation. a and P rays. Neutrons. That part of the Arndt-Schulze law which states that small doses of radiation stimulate cell proliferation is strongly disputed in the literature of radio-biology; in fact Strangeways and Hopwood (1926) found no evidence of any stimulating effect by x rays on cells in tissue culture and this...

The Palliative Treatment of Inoperable Carcinoma of the Cervix by Means of Radium

The various palliative treatments formerly employed in cases of inoperable carcinoma of the cervix have proved so unsatisfactory that any improvement should be hailed with joy by the profession. Reports of the success of radium treatment, therefore, deserve attention and investigation, since these reports have appeared in the last few years with such frequency that the method may now be conside...
