  • Title: [Irradiation of the spleen during malign diseases of the blood (author's transl)].
    Author: Ermanni M, Straub PW.
    Journal: Strahlentherapie; 1977 Jan; 153(1):1-8. PubMed ID: 264711.
    Abstract:
    The results of splenic irradiation in 8 patients with neoplastic hematologic diseases are compared with those previously published. Although only 2 of our 8 cases showed a remission, 7 of the 8 patients showed a decrease in spleen size and a subjective improvement. The regularly observed and often severe pancytopenia after splenic irradiation was in no apparent relation to the dose applied. The indications and the dosage of radiotherapy of the spleen are discussed.
