Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator. Radiation therapy may be curative in a number of types of cancer if they are localized to one area of the body. It may also be used as part of adjuvant therapy, to prevent tumor recurrence after surgery to remove a primary malignant tumor (for example, early stages of breast cancer). Radiation therapy is synergistic with chemotherapy, and has been used before, during, and after chemotherapy in susceptible cancers. The subspecialty of oncology concerned with radiotherapy is called radiation oncology. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.

Moscow; Leningrad: Gosudarstvennoe izdatel'stvo, 1926. Octavo (17 × 11.8 cm). Original staple-stitched pictorial wrappers; 46, [1] pp. With ten illustrations in the text. Small chip to lower spine extremity, small stain to lower wrapper edge. Still very good. An illustrated public health brochure promoting health check-ups for pregnant women; hospital rather than home births; and infant and toddler childcare in villages. Intended for rural Soviet populations, brochures such as this one were part of domestic propaganda working to convince often illiterate mothers to give birth in a birthing centre, and to place their children in day care, concepts that were new and foreign at the time. Numerous illustrations in the text depict the potentially unhygienic birth at home vs clean and safe hospital environment, and attempt to demystify visits to the doctor before and after delivery. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to promoting the creation of nurseries and kindergartens in the villages, with accompanying illustrations showing the daily routine of a child in nursery care. The author, Mark Lebedinskii (1895-1980), was a Ukrainian medical doctor, psychiatrist, and psychotherapist. Originally from Nikolaev, he served in the Red Army and later studied in Moscow where he was part of the so-called Vygotsky-Luria circle of medical specialist, educators, and psychologists, before relocating to Kharkiv to head the Department of Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Neurology and Psychiatry in Kharkiv. Lebedinskii's numerous public health titles from this period informed by the Vygotsky circle include "Child health" (1925), "Physical Education Stengthens Health" (1926), "Women's Health" (1925), as well as a famous volume "Everyday life of working youth" (1929). Publisher's advertising to last page and rear wrapper with list of public health titles for rural populations about topics such as scarlet fever, smallpox, scabies, as well as sexuality and venereal diseases.
