Owing to the tremendously rapid development of the sciences publi
cations of congresses and meetings are frequently out-of-date by
the time they appear in print. We endeavoured to publish the report
of the Sym posium in Montreux in as short a time as possible. In
order to reduce the cost, the manuscripts hat to be confined to few
pages at the most and it was absolutely necessary to limit the
number of illustrations. For the Symposium in question we invited
all those authors of whom we knew they were acquainted with the
medicinal application of fast elec trons to take part in a
discussion covering their particular field of interest. Other
lectures were also admitted without exception. Unfortunately on
account of various extrinsic reasons the time between the
application to take part in the Symposium and the Meeting itself
was far too short which fact prevented some well-known scientists
from coming to Montreux. In cases where no speaker was to be found
for a certain subject Bernese and Milano Institutes (Doc. Dr. med.
P. L. CaVA) filled the gap whenever and wherever possible."
Die Strahlentherapie gutartiger Erkrankungen ist zu Unrecht
einesteils in Vergessen- heit geraten, andererseits fiirchtet man
vor allem unerwiinschte oder gar gefahrliche Bestrahlungsfolgen.
Die moglichen Gefahrdungen sind heute, dank Untersuchungen in den
heiden letzten Jahrzehnten, gut bekannt. Bei richtiger
Indikationsstellung und adaquater Technik sind die Gefahren bei
Bestrahlung gutartiger Erkrankungen von gleicher GroBenordnung,
wenn nicht kleiner, als diejenigen anderer medizinischer MaB-
nahmen. In zahlreichen Fallen ist die Strahlentherapie die
wirksamste, gelegentlich sogar die lebensrettende Behandlung. Auch
kann sie angewandt werden, wenn andere Verfahren nicht zum
gewiinschten Erfolg gefiihrt haben. Anzeigestellung, Methodik,
Erfolgs- aussichten, mogliche Gefahrdung und ihre Vermeidung werden
bei verschiedenen Er- krankungen beschrieben. Die Darstellung des
derzeitigen Standes des Wissens auf dem Gebiet der Strahlentherapie
gutartiger Erkrankungen gibt dem Fachmann ein wertvolles
Hilfsmittel in die Hand und wird diese Behandlungsform zu der ihr
gebiihrenden An- wendung fiihren. Bern, Aprill970 A. ZUPPINGER
Preface In non-malignant diseases radiotherapy has on the one hand
fallen into undeserved neglect and on the other aroused fears of
undesirable and even dangerous sequelae. Today, as a result of
studies carried out over the last 20 years, the risks of radiation
are well understood. Given correct interpretation of symptoms and
adequate technical resources, the risks of treating non-malignant
diseases by irradiation are of the same order of magnitude, or less
than those attending other medical procedures. Radiotherapy is very
often the most effective treatment and on occasion can even be
life-saving. It can also be used where other methods have failed.
