Title: THE VALUE OF OVARIAN IRRADIATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF BREAST CANCER

Journal Article · · Acta Unio Intern. Contra Cancrum
OSTI ID:4689984

A report is given of a clinical trial to assess the value of ovarian radiation (x-ray artificial menopause) for breast cancer. There appeared to be a definite advantage to cases having ovarian irradiation prophylactically as judged on crude survival rate. This improvement was more apparent in the earlier case than the late, with a definite decrease in the incidence of metastases in the treated group at 5 years. (auth)
