"Radium therapy, the most advanced cancer treatment available in the 1920s, consisted of destroying cancerous cells by injecting radium emanation into the tumor followed by the use of deep therapy x-ray waves to destroy any remaining cancerous cells.
As a last resort, surgery would remove any remaining diseased tissue. Radium treatment required the use of small glass tubes called Capillaries to the inject radium emanation into the tumors."
