Edgar Haydon was a general practitioner in Newton Abbot, Devon, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He introduced radium therapy to the cottage hospital in this small market town in 1914 at a time when many cities lacked this facility. He raised funds for the building of a cancer wing and an extension to the hospital that were completed in 1927. This paper describes his fund-raising efforts, some of his cases and the way in which radium treatment influenced the number of cancers treated in the hospital. The hospital's records are fragmentary and leave many questions unanswered about the practicalities of radium treatment in those early years.
埃德加·海登是19世纪末20世纪初德文郡牛顿阿伯特的一名全科医生。1914年，在许多城市都没有这种设施的时候，他将镭疗法引入了这个小集镇的乡村医院。他为建造一座癌症病房和医院的扩建工程筹集资金，该工程于1927年完工。本文描述了他的筹款努力、他的一些病例以及镭治疗对医院治疗癌症数量的影响方式。医院的记录不完整，留下了许多关于早期镭治疗实际情况的问题没有答案。
