Clinical Bulletin

Abstract

A series of 6 patients with ureteral metastases from breast carcinoma treated by radiation therapy has been evaluated. Most patients received a tumor dose of 3,600 rads in 3 to 4 weeks, and showed remarkable clinical improvement, with relief of the ureteral obstruction and reversal of symptoms and signs of uremia after radiation therapy. One patient died before an adequate dose of radiation therapy could be given. Early recognition and early treatment of ureteral metastases have been stressed. Radiation therapy techniques have been described.
