METHOD OF APPLICATION IN THE treatment of certain diseases of the eye, beta radiation from decay products of radium is made use of by means of a beta ray applicator. Radon is sealed in a small glass sphere (fig. 2, R) in the applicator. The diameter of this sphere is about 4 mm. and the thickness of the wall about 0.1 mm. The glass sphere is inserted

Radiation therapy in craniopharyngiomas
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1983Eighteen patients with cranipharyngiomas, who were studied and treated between 1970-1980, are presented. Each patient was treated with surgery and radiotherapy (50-60 Gy). Six patients were treated with radiotherapy because the tumor recurred after surgery. An extensive representation of the clinical symptomatology typical of this tumor was seen.
