INOPERABLE CARCINOMA 315 Treatment of Inoperable Carcinoma.—The technique in the treat-ment of primary growths, unsuitable for operation, being similar, the descrip-tion under (a) applies to both groups. A classification is necessary in orderto describe fully the methods employed. (a) Large inoperable cancer of the breast without ulceration is fairlycommon.
