RODENT ULCER 309 has been induced, it has been possible to remove the glands surgically, andcontinue the X-ray treatment afterwards. The condition of a patient so treated is infinitely better than when theglands are allowed to enlarge slowly, involve the skin, and ulcerate. Oncea carcinomatous gland arrives at the stage where it breaks down all barriersand reaches the surface, no amount of X-ray or other treatment has anyeffect. The technique is somewhat similar to that for tuberculous doses with filtered rays may be employed, taking care to cover a widearea, and changing the area as frequently as possible. In advanced cases,with groups of greatly enlarged glands,
