Abstract

1. 1. Preoperative irradiation as an adjunct in the treatment of renal tumors is a definite step forward. 2. 2. Where possible, irradiation with the ultra short wave potential is definitely superior to medium voltage therapy. 3. 3. Postoperative irradiation alone does not enhance the prognosis. 4. 4. Adequate preoperative irradiation with limited postoperative irradiation argues for the best prognosis. 5. 5. Irradiation and operation in the presence of established metastasis is futile. 6. 6. Irradiation without surgery is futile. 7. 7. Transperitoneal extirpation of the irradiated tumor greatly facilitates the ease of operation. 8. 8. Under the above régime the curability of renal tumors is not asserted, but it is felt that the prognosis is more hopeful.
