Description
Treatment of rectal carcinomas with endocavitary irradiation is now an established menthod in the United States and is an important advance in the curative management of patients with selected cancers of the rectum that should be available to all such patients. Excellent palliation can also be achieved in many cases with advanced local disease. The total experience at Highland Hospital, Rochester, New York, is over 70 cases.
