Abstract
Investigations by means of isotope-labelled proteins on the enteric loss of albumin and gamma globulin caused by ionizing radiation to the abdomen in 8 cases of carcinoma of the bladder and 3 cases of hypernephroma are described. Losses of protein occur even when the radiation is well circumscribed. No detrimental effects on albumin and gamma globulin concentrations occurred when precautionary measures were taken.
