title: [Tele-gamma irradiation of subdiaphragmatic lymph nodes in rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: The authors described methods of gamma-beam therapy of the retroperitoneal lymph nodes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and therapeutic results. The para-aortal and ilioinguinal lymph nodes were irradiated in 20 patients at a dose of 20 Gy during 2 weeks. Half of the patients demonstrated improved general status with a decrease of disease activity and normalization of the articular syndrome.
