This sometimesleaves a perfectly clean field and novisible remnants of the growth; at othertimes, it is possible only to remove partof the growth because it is attached toor imbedded in vital organs. No at-tempt is made to diminish the size ofthe \vound by sutures. 1 he wound isleft open for subsequent application of either x-ray or radium, as the case maybe (Fig. 1). This condition estab-lishes a condition very similar to andas favorable for treatment as in thesuperficial growths, and we may expect,therefore, similar results. Allowing this large area to remainwidely open, we may now apply therays either with the x-ray or by placingradium directly into the bed of the dis-ease. It is now unnecessary to do anymaterial screening, especially whenthere are large remnants of the diseasedtissue left.
