[Own experiences with radiogold therapy of inoperable breast cancer in old patients (author's transl)].
Fifteen 62- to 85-year-old women with breast cancer are reported. An infiltration treatment by means of 198Au was performed with the patients because of general and local inoperability. Eleven of them were exposed to additional local X-irradiation. This therapy generally leads to local disappearance of the cancer disease.
