Description

A method of close-focus X-ray therapy for extensive ulcerated hemangiomas was worked out and used in combination with ointment treatment with a good clinical effect in 230 patients. The summary focal dose was 0.5-1.0 Gy. A study of the results of radiotherapy over the period of 3-10 yrs. has shown that such changes as skin atrophy, scars and cosmetic defects result from the ulceration of a tumor at its early stage of development because during irradiation at doses that do not cause local radiation reactions, changes of the skin and soft tissues are not observed
