In the 1950s many thousands of children with ringworm of the scalp were given low doses of x rays to induce depilation. At the time, the treatment was thought to be a considerable advance both for the individual child and for the prevention of onward transmission within families and schools...
The major advances in radiation oncology in this century was the development of megavoltage radiation in the 1950s, which greatly expanded the clinical utility of ionizing radiation in the treatment of many forms of cancer, including cancers of the head and neck. The combination of radiation and...
Radiation was first used to treat a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the nose in 1900. Following the development of improved dermatologic and surgical techniques in the 1950s, the role for radiation in the treatment of skin cancer gradually decreased.1 However, there remain certain settings...
Radiation therapy (RT) was soon being used in a wide variety of malignant diseases. However, treatment was often associated with significant cutaneous toxicity and had limited applicability until the introduction of high energy (megavoltage) machines in the 1950s. Over the last 20 years, ...
While joint pain and stiffness are the most common terms used to describe arthritis pain, the warning signs are pretty specific. Here's what you need to know in order to get the right diagnosis — and the best treatment. Arthritis Types ...
How long is a radiation treatment for breast cancer? How is radiation done for uterine cancer? How does cervical cancer spread through the body? How was cervical cancer treated in the 1950s? How does cervical cancer develop? How can cervical cancer be detected?
The earliest intracavitary radium treatment for uterine cancer was reported in 1908. Refinements reported during the next 20 years, using an intrauterine tube and colpostats or radium capsules, established a treatment philosophy of preoperatively irradiating uterine and parauterine tissues. Thus, preopera...

Background: From the 1920s through the 1950s, radiation therapy was used in Sweden as a treatment for benign breast diseases. It is now known that exposure of the breast to ionizing radiation increases the relative risk of subsequent bre... Anders,Mattsson,Bengt-Inge,... - 《Jnci J Natl...
PLT cell numbers in non-irradiated groups were found to be significantly different based on the treatment they received (either saline or JNJ‑26366821). Significantly higher PLT induction after JNJ‑26366821 treatment in the control group could be one of the possible mechanisms leading to ...
