The purpose of this Symposium is to ascertain whether cure rates are sufficiently increased by supervoltage irradiation to warrant the installation of super-voltage apparatus in all radiation therapy departments. After thirteen years of clinical experience with this modality, I find two types of supporting evidence: the individual case of arrest of an unusual, advanced cancer known to be intractable to more common methods, and the statistical series confined to a single type of lesion. I shall present here a case of multiple intraoral cancer and two types of carcinoma of the testis, radiosensitive seminoma and radioresistant tro-phocarcinoma (embryonal carcinoma). The theoretically developed support of the value of supervoltage irradiation is being modified through clinical testing as a result of unexpected and paradoxical observations. Three Successive Intraoral Cancers: Case Report On Nov. 5, 1951, a white male, aged 82 years, was seen with a lump in the right side of the neck of two weeks duration. Two...
