Recurrent gastric carcinoma treated by the Geiger probe technique.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Conventional radiotherapy or chemotherapy has little success in the treatment of adenocarcinoma of the stomach. It is suggested that if radiotherapy can be given at times of tumour mitotic activity then greater success might be achieved. In this case a pattern of tumour activity was induced by Methotrexate and radiotherapy given during peaks of activity as judged by the Geiger probe technique. A single case is recorded though, naturally, conclusions cannot be drawn from an isolated success.
