Malignant Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in a Bantu woman with a prolonged remission after gastric radiotherapy

Abstract

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS A striking remission of symptoms is recorded following radiotherapy directed to the stomach in a case of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is suggested that previous failure with this method may have resulted from insufficient dosage. The histological similarity of carcinoid and pancreatic ulcerogenic tumours and their differential diagnosis is discussed.
