Owing to the tremendously rapid development of the sciences publi cations of congresses and meetings are frequently out-of-date by the time they appear in print.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.
