Intraluminal irradiation in oesophageal tumours using the high-dose-rate Microselectron

Cancer Control Agency of British Columbia, 600 West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, Canada V5Z4E6

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

We were interested to read the technique for intraluminal irradiation of oesphageal tumours described by Burt and his colleagues (1989) and wish to comment on the conclusions that they have drawn from their limited experience with the highdose- rate Microselectron.

Since January 1985 we have used intraluminal radiotherapy as part of the treatment of more than 300 patients with either oesophageal or cardia tumours. These patients represent more than 90% of all the patients with oesphageal tumours referred to our centre.
