Combined treatment was used in 10 patients (3 and 7 patients had Stage I and II, respectively), combined radical radiation therapy was applied in 21 patients (Stage II), split-course gamma-teletherapy was employed in 28 patients (6 and 22 patients with Stages II and III, respectively) and 3 females had short-range X-ray therapy. Palliative radiation therapy was performed in 8 patients with Stage III tumors.
