Abstract
The treatment of parasternal metastases by means of a short distance Co60 unit using a special parasternal tube is described. An investigation upon a limited section to determine the site of the metastases has been undertaken. The adoption of the "overlapping fields" technique in postoperative radiation therapy to the supraclavicular and axillary area is discussed.Keywords
