The combination of cautery and radium, as employed since 1917 in the Mayo Clinic for the treatment of malignant tumors of the antrum of Highmore, has eliminated the operative deaths usually associated with this disease, and has produced a higher percentage of cures than previous operative measures. In 1920, I reported 1 the treatment of eighteen malignant tumors of the antrum by this method, emphasizing the fact that there had been a decrease in the percentage of recurrence.
