[Importance of the use of the Betatron in combination with other procedures in the treatment of retinoblastoma].
High energy (Betatron) improves the results of retinoblastoma therapy. Among its advantages we should like to mention the following: high doses at the tumour may be reached within a few days; the exact position of the tumour may be determined without half-light; the duration of irradiation is short which permits to keep the patients-mostly children-immoble more easily, and the good general and local tolerance of the irradiation.
