  • Title: Low dose irradiation for limb salvage in malignant bone tumours.
    Author: Hirano T, Iwasaki K, Kumashiro T, Suzuki R.
    Journal: Int Orthop; 1991; 15(4):381-5. PubMed ID: 1809723.
    Abstract:
    We have assessed the value of adding low dose radiotherapy to preoperative chemotherapy in 20 patients with high grade malignant bone tumours. Histology of the resected specimens showed a considerable tumouricidal effect and a distinct capsule enclosing the extraosseous part of the tumour. There were no serious side effects.
