Followup data on 90 of 177 patients with Peyronie's disease seen from Janurary 1, 1950 to April 1, 1970 revealed that the ultimate outcome of the disease when not treated was no different from that following orthovoltage radiotherapy. The real benefit derived from orthovoltage radiotherapy appears to be that it hastens symptomatic improvement by 3 to 7 months. In 21 per cent of the patients there was an associated inflammatory joint or tendon disease, an association not previously reported.
对1950年1月1日至1970年4月1日期间诊治的177例佩罗尼氏病患者中的90例进行随访，结果显示，该病未经治疗时的最终结局与采用深部X线放疗后的结局并无差异。深部X线放疗的实际益处似乎在于能使症状改善提前3至7个月。21%的患者伴有炎性关节或肌腱疾病，这一关联此前未见报道。
