[The use of high-energy electrons in the treatment of malignant orbital tumors (author's transl)].
Tumors of the anterior part of the orbita can be irradiated with high-energy electrons using a special eye tube with a central plexiglass stick to protect the eye. In eight patients suffering from lymphatic orbital tumors, complete remission was achieved after a dose of 3000 rad.
