ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a novel method of protecting human and animal organs against radiation. A foldable and unfoldable bladder prosthesis such as disclosed in applicants' U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,311,659 and 4,497,074 is placed in position in the body of the patient who has been operated on for a tumor. The balloon is placed in position in the operational site, after excision or reduction of the tumor and prior to treatment by ionizing radiation. This confers on the balloon the role of a protective device against the radiation of normal tissues and organs which are situated in the path of the radiation. It creats a "neutral" channel free from the presence of tissues or organs which can be injured by the ionizing radiation.
