title: [Indication and problems of radiotherapy of primary bone and cartilage tumours of the thoracic wall (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors discuss the management in radiotherapy of bony tumours of the thoracic wall: necessity of accepting the risk due to the volume of healthy tissue which is inevitably irradiated, the technics of irradiation which limit these risks. Limited hope of improvement of the still modest results with new technics of radiotherapy. They emphasize the difference which exists between the idea of radiosensitivity and radiocurability.
