Shown here are the results from the use of radon in the treatment of 146 patients with infiltrating carcinoma of the bladder. Ninety-four per cent of the tumors had invaded the muscle of the bladder; 54 per cent were Stage B2 or worse. Ninety per cent of the radon implantations were done cystoscopically. Twenty-one per cent of the patients survived five years or longer, free of recurrence. An additional 8 per cent were cured by follow-up treatment of recurrences. Complications and morbidity are minimal. Survival results compare favorably with more dangerous and debilitating methods of treatment.
这里展示的是使用氡治疗146例浸润性膀胱癌患者的结果。94%的肿瘤已侵犯膀胱肌肉；54%为B2期或更晚期。90%的氡植入是通过膀胱镜进行的。21%的患者存活了五年或更长时间，且无复发。另外8%的患者通过对复发的后续治疗而治愈。并发症和发病率极低。与更危险且使人虚弱的治疗方法相比，生存结果良好。
