title: [Radiotherapy of precancerous lesions and carcinoma of the head (author's transl)].
abstract: On the basis of results and check-ups gained at the clinic of Zurich, it can be demonstrated, once more, that radiotherapy of precancerous lesions and tumors, even critically considered, is still a very valuable and safe method of treatment with lasting success in 90 to 99% of the cases. At the same time this method safeguards the essential functions, even in the case of particularly difficult areas.
