A few patients presenting with thyroid cancer characterized by the high risk of relapses are reported. Their combined treatment included therapy using fast-neuron with the energy of 6.3 MeV. The immediate and late results of the treatment of the reported cases are evaluated. The experience gained during the study gives evidence of the fairly good tolerability of the described radiotherapeutic modality producing neither acute radiation reactions nor lesions in the irradiated tissues and organs. Moreover, the treatment is described as a highly effective one.
