- Abstract
Seven breast cancer patients received supervoltage radiation therapy in the Department of Radiation Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital from 1970--1978 for ureteral-periureteral metastases. Urinary symptoms (flank pain, urgency, hematuria) disappeared completely and permanently for four of five patients; abnormal pyelograms returned completely to normal for three of three; and abnormal renal function tests for two of two. Six of seven patients survived at least one year after irradiation. Indications for irradiation, dose, and techniques are discussed.
