[Irradiation of the thymus region in chronic lymphoid leukaemia. Seven cases (author's transl)].
7 patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia, B type, have been treated with thymic irradiation. A full remission was achieved in 2 and a partial one in 4. No serious complications were noted during or after the irradiation. This treatment has proved efficient even after the failure of a previous chemotherapy and has permitted to resume any other therapeutic modality when the C.L.L. is no more controlled.
