Catterall, M

The results of fast neutron therapy for malignant tumors of the salivary glands are very satisfactory and on present evidence, fast neutrons are the treatment of first choice for tumors in these sites, when compared with the results from surgery and conventional radiotherapy. In this article, confirmation of results of neutron therapy already published from Hammersmith are given by workers at the Fermi Laboratory.
