patients5. We think that it is more than merely a coincidence that tumour calcification appears in the first three patients treated with the addition of temporary dearterialization.

In our original manuscript six photographs of CT scans were included, showing all three patients. When Professor Anders Lunderquist reviews the floppy discs from the examinations and states that there is a regression of tumour growth in all three patients after institution of therapy, we believe him. We never judge tumour status from an individual X-ray photograph.

We do not claim any major benefit for the patients from this new treatment modality, but feel reassured by the appearance of some good prognostic signs to undertake a controlled clinical trial.
