Abstract

The sample consists entirely of cases given radical radiation which were already stage 2. - j. e. had palpable, mobile, glands when first seen. Only a limited percentage of the primary growths, 14%, have resolved, but that fraction does, I believe, represent a real local cancer lethal effect. A greater fraction of the glands appear to have responded but we must keep in mind the known 20%, or so, of palpable nodes which later examination shows to be negative even in the simple operative case.
