THE HEIDELBERG TECHNIQUES OF CONTACT IRRADIATION WITH Co$sup 60$: EXPERIMENT WITH 1,500 PATIENTS TREATED
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4289227
Three techniques of contact irradiation employing cobalt-60 are described. These include beads of metallic gold containing a little ring of activated cobalt for use in intracavitary irradiation, individually shaped molds oi metallic gold containing a core of cobalt-60, and rubber balloons filled with a suspension of an inactive jelly containing 2 mm pellets containing cobalt-60. Clinical resuits are summarized for a series of 1,500 patients treated during a seven-year period. Good results are reported when the applicators were used for the treatment of carcinoma of the urinary bladder, brain tumors, rectum carcinoma, carcinoma of the maxillary antrum, carcinoma of the female genital tract, and in sonae special cases of skin tumor.
