Popis:	In a previous communication (1) a preliminary report was made of a study on the use of radioactive phosphorus, P32, as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of lymphosarcoma. It is the purpose of this paper to attempt an evaluation of the results obtained to date by this method of therapy, and to outline its probable place in the treatment of this disease. The theoretical and experimental background for the use of P32 in the treatment of lymphosarcoma was discussed in detail in the earlier paper. As an aid to a clearer understanding of the material to be presented at this time, certain aspects of that report will be briefly summarized: 1. Lymphosarcoma is almost always a systemic disease, involving several different lymphoid tissue-bearing regions and tending to spread progressively to other similar regions. The usual method of therapy is local irradiation of the clinically demonstrable lesions. Because of the generalized character of the disease, however, systemic irradiation should be of value in its tre...
