[Extracorporeal blood irradiation in chronic lymphatic leukemia (author's transl)]

In 8 outpatients suffering from different stages of chronic lymphatic leukemia extracorporeal irradiation of blood was used. In two cases full remission could be induced. In the other patients leukocytes were reduced to 10000 to 40000. In all patients we found a diminuation of B lymphocytes. Side effects were not observed.
