On the issue of radical treatment of uterine fibromyomas

In No. 5 of the Kazan Medical Journal for the past 1936, an article by Professor P. V. Manenkov "On the question of radical treatment of uterine fibromyomas" was published, in which the author, comparing the two main methods of this treatment, surgical and radiation energy treatment, gives preference to the first of them. Regarding this article, the editorial office received an article by associate professor A. L. Kaplan, in which the latter, on the contrary, defends X-ray therapy of uterine fibromyomas as a way of their radical treatment. Having received this article, which in turn caused objections from Prof. Manenkova, the editorial board asked me to express what view of the radical treatment of uterine fibromyomas I think is more correct.
