THE THERAPEUTIC USE OF FRACTIONATED SUBTOTAL BODY IRRADIATION

Abstract
A technique is presented for the treatment of generalized radiosensitive malignancies. The results of fractionated STBI (subtotal body irradiation) in a group of 41 patients are at least as satisfactory as those achieved by any other therapeutic modality. Eight of 9 patients with generalized Stage III and IV nodular lymphocytic lymphoma, both well and poorly differentiated, are living without evidence of disease, from 15 to 82 months since treatment.
