The author provides a comprehensive overview of the then-current state of knowledge about radiation therapy, including its uses in treating skin conditions, lupus vulgaris, epithelioma, acne vulgaris, pruritus, chronic eczema, and certain parasitic diseases. The author also discusses the use of radium to treat malignant tumors of the head, neck, body, and extremities, providing detailed case histories of successful treatments. The book concludes that radium has emerged as a revolutionary agent in the surgical field due to its unique, non-destructive, yet transformative effect on tumor cell growth, and that it shows great promise as a treatment for various cancers and diseases.
