Search of the literature fails to reveal any published data from which the relative biological
effectiveness4 of conventional total-body x-ray and intra venous 32@ can be computed. It …

In the period from January 1941 to July 1951, treatment of 163 patients with chronic
leukemia by the method of titrated, regularly spaced total-body irradiation (1, 2) was started …

Experience in the treatment of 326 consecutive cases of chronic leukemia by the method of
titrated, regularly-spaced, total-body irradiation with P32 or x-ray has told us much about …

Since the white blood count of chronic leukaemic patients falls exponentially with integral
body dosage from 32P the half value dose is a quantitative expression of leukopoietic …

1. An in vitro method for tagging leukemic human granulocytes, lymphocytes, and their
precursors with radioactive sodium chromate (Na 2 Cr 51 O 4) was described. The exact …

THE EVALUATION of a new therapy for chronic leukemias is difficult because of the diverse
course of untreated patients, the differing stages of the disease when patients are first seen …

At the Sixth Congress of the Northern Association of Medical Radiology at Oslo in 1929 I
recorded my first attempts with total roentgen irradiation in chronic leukemia. It is well known …

Leukocyte kinetic studies using chromium‐51 were performed in four patients with acute
myelocytic leukemia (AML). Intravascular leukocyte survival was prolonged in comparison …

BECAUSE of the discoveries and developments in the field of nuclear physics during the
past few years, artificial radio-activity is available in nearly all of the chemical elements …

The mechanism whereby focal irradiation of the spleen reduces the circulating leukocytes in
leukemia is not known (1–4). Possibly the effect is mediated by a humoral factor liberated by …
