Pathological examination of malignant tumours revealed that there were 63 cases of squamous epithelial cancers and 18 cases of adenocarcinoma. Cavermous he-mangioma is benign tumour and congenital. Special designed and made platinum needles were inserted into the tumours and the needles were connected to an instrument protucing a direct current for treat-ment. Voltage used was usually 8 volts with current 60 - 80 mA. The quantity elecricity applied was 100 coulombs per 1 cm in diameter of the tumour. The effectiveness of treating 81 cases malignant tu-mours was: CR 42 cases (51. 8% ), PR 31 cases (38. 3% ), NC 5 cases (6. 2% ) and PD 3 cases (3.7 % ). CR + PR was 73 cases (90. 1 % ). The effectiveness of treating 41 cases of benign hemangioma was: CR 38 cases (92. 7 % ) and PR 3 cases (7. 3 % ). One, three and five year survival rates of malig-nant tumour patients were 95 %, 65. 4 % and 37 %, respectively. While all the 41 patients with he-mangioma survived over five years after treatment.展开更多
