P32による舌Angiokeratomの表在治療

　放射性同位元素を腫瘍の放射線治療に用うる方法は近時盛んになつて来た。

　Angiokeratomの治療は放射線療法の適応であつて，従来Radium,Röntgen照射等が行われていたのであるが，瀰漫性に等量の照射を他の部分に強い反応を起させることなく治癒の目的を達するためには同位元素の表在治療が最も適していると思われる。

An angiokeratoma of the tongue involving a large area, in a girl aged 11, is treated with the use of P³². This therapeutic agent was made into a thin agar-film which was used to cover the involved area of the tongue; the results were highly favorable. Differing from the use of radium or roentgen-rays for such apur purpose which may cause injuries to the dental buds or mandibular bone, no side eff-ects were noted.
