Abstract
UNDER this title, the Medical Research Council has issued a summary of reports from radium research centres for 1932 (Special Rep. Series, No. 186. H.M. Stationery Office. Is. net). Brief details of the results obtained during the year are given, as well as a statistical analysis of data relating to the after-histories of patients treated in earlier years. The treatment of cancer of the rectum by irradiation, hitherto disappointing, appears now to have a more favourable future as a result of better understanding of the dosage.
