When removedsurgicallv even the smaller lesions are prone to recur; cautery in selectedcases may give slightly better results and the end-results obtained bythose using radium alone, such as the radium institutions, are not muchbetter except in the early cases. The pessimistic tone of the reportsfrom the London radium and other institutes must be discounted whenit is recalled that most of these institutions treat only inoperable cases,and with radium alone. Radium, except in the early cases, should becombined, with other suitable measures, in order to obtain the bestend-results. 74 I^ADITJM. Epithelioma of nose. Result 3^/2 years after radium treatment.
