[Curie therapy with 192 iridium on a moulded apparatus in the treatment of tumors of the hard palate].
Complete regression of the primary tumour was observed when a shaped apparatus loaded with 192Ir wires was used in the treatment of 6 patients with neoplasia of the hard palate, whereas very slight changes were noted in another subject. Fatal locoregional adenopathy appeared after 6 months in one of these 6 patients without prejudice to the cure obtained in the primary site.
