Abstract:
In a series of experiments, an electrolytic method of tumour destruction has been developed. When tested clinically, no tumour has been totally destroyed but substantial necroses have been achieved. To make the electrolytic method more effective it can favourably be combined with radiotherapy. This has been done experimentally with good results. It is likely that the intense inflammation around the chemical destruction creates a radio-sensitising effect.
