On the treatment of malignant skin neoplasms with X-rays

Abstract

Of the skin diseases amenable to the action of X-rays, malignant neoplasms deserve special attention. The powerful radiant energy of X-rays often brings a complete cure even in those severe, far advanced, non-operable cases where all other treatment methods are powerless. Some favorable reports of this kind date back to the beginning of the X-ray era, when the technique of irradiation was far from being perfect. Since then, the literature on the subject has grown considerably. Nevertheless, we still think it is worthwhile to share the results of our observations, because until very recently, there is far from being a unified, established view both on the biological effect of x-rays and on the method of their application.
