Excerpt from Radium, Vol. 10: A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Chemistry, Physics and Therapeutics of Radium and Radio-Active Substances; December, 1917

In estimating the value of radium treatment it should be borne in mind that its advocates do not claim that it supersedes surgery, but that it is a valuable adjunct to surgery in helping to preven. Recurrences after operation, in rendering inoperable cases operable, and that it has proved itself to be one of the best palliatives we have in cases in which opera tion is impracticable, and in many of such cases has brought about apparent cure. This being so, it is obvious that In a large proportion of cases radium is used as a last resource, sometimes when the patients are in an almost moribund condition, and when all other measures have failed to give relief. This should therefore be taken into consideration in estimating the results.
