Radio-phosphorus has been used as a therapeutic agent during the past three years in all types of leukemia, with encouraging results. The principal advantages offered by radio-phosphorus appear to lie in its ease of administration (it may be given orally, intravenously, etc.), in its therapeutic effectiveness and in...References1.
