Abstract
In this paper, 155 cases of skin cancer, experience during the year from 1946 to 1956, were analysed. The cure rate of skin cancer depends chiefly upon its size.
Although small tumors can be cured easily, in most cases of skin cancer in Japan, tumor has grown too large before the patient asks for the treatment. Consequently, radiotherapy of skin cancer in Japan is more difficult problem than other kinds of cancer. Moreover, it is definite fact that many cases with metastases are difficult to cure completely. It is important for cancer treatment that we should study more about the treatment of metastasis.
