“…Renewed interest in radiation therapy returned in the 1950s when higherenergy cobalt machines that could penetrate to deeper levels became available. The first reported series of prostate cancer patients who were treated with 60 Co (cobalt) therapy focused on patients with unresectable disease 53 . Soon after, Juan Del Regato reported on a small number of patients who were apparently cured following 60 Co therapy 54 .…”

“…The difficulty of good control in most of the series is understandable. Further, those reports in which histological evidence of tumor regression following radiotherapy is presented (Dykhuizen et al, 1968;George et al, 1965;Grout et al, 1971), are based upon the interpretation of needle biopsies. Such conclusions may be of more value if they are based on the histological examinations of post mortem specimens, rather than the very limited and random material obtained by needle biopsy.…”

“…The early results of treatment by radiotherapy were considered disappointing by some (Smith et al, 1930;Widmann, 1934). It was not until the use of radioactive interstitial gold by Flocks (1952) that improved results were obtained in selected cases by the use of some form of radiotherapy (Bagshaw et al, 1965;Bennett, 1968; Del Regato, 1967;Dykhuizen et al, 1968;George et al, 1965;Grout et al, 1971;Rhamy et al, 1972). However, the place of radiotherapy for prostatic carcinoma still remains unsettled (Rhamy et al, 1972).…”
