Radon in treatment of infiltrating carcinoma of urinary bladder.

Shown here are the results from the use of radon in the treatment of 146 patients with infiltrating carcinoma of the bladder. Ninety-four per cent of the tumors had invaded the muscle of the bladder; 54 per cent were Stage B2 or worse. Ninety per cent of the radon implantations were done cystoscopically. Twenty-one per cent of the patients survived five years or longer, free of recurrence. An additional 8 per cent were cured by follow-up treatment of recurrences. Complications and morbidity are minimal. Survival results compare favorably with more dangerous and debilitating methods of treatment.

Total retropubic prostatectomy for carcinoma of the prostate.

Results in 96 patients who had total retropubic prostatectomy were reviewed. The most common complications were impotence and difficulty with urinary control. The most serious were rectal injury and vesical neck contracture. Twenty-eight of 33 patients who were followed for five years after operation and eight of twelve who were followed for ten years were alive without evidence of recurrence of cancer. Evidence of recurrence was found only in patients in whom cancer had spread beyond the parenchyma of the prostate before operation. There were no operative deaths.
