ROENTGEN-RAY TREATMENT OF INOPERABLE CARCINOMAS OF THE URINARY BLADDER

ROENTGEN-RAY TREATMENT OF INOPERABLE CARCINOMAS OF THE URINARY BLADDER From January, 1915, to April, 1925, fifty-three cases of clearly inoperable and advanced primary carcinomas of the urinary bladder were treated with three different methods: twenty-one cases with radium; nineteen with a combination of cautery and radium or roentgen rays, and thirteen with roentgen rays only.

Abstract

From January, 1915, to April, 1925, fifty-three cases of clearly inoperable and advanced primary carcinomas of the urinary bladder were treated with three different methods: twenty-one cases with radium; nineteen with a combination of cautery and radium or roentgen rays, and thirteen with roentgen rays only. The rapid and complete arrest of the growth and the subjective relief of a large number of the patients treated with the roentgen rays was so remarkable that it was deemed of value to render a report comprising the clinical observations made and a comparison of the results of treatment with the three methods employed. CLASSIFICATION OF CANCERS The cancers, with eight exceptions, were advanced. They were grouped according to the clinical grading elaborated by one of us 1 for cervical carcinomas; namely, A, primary carcinomas, which numbered thirty-four, and B, recurrent carcinomas, which numbered nineteen. The latter had recurred after a previous attempt
