Radiation therapy for plantar warts.
Follow-up examinations were done on 598 plantar wart sites treated by radiation 3 to 28 years earlier. In 45 cases, minor skin changes were detectable. There were no frank radiation sequelae. Of three X-ray schedules used, a one-dose method is recommended because of its simplicity, efficacy and safety.
