[Radiotherapy and coagulation system in women with cancer of the genital tract].

Unlabelled: The question in the study was whether radiotherapy of women with neoplasma of genital tract leads to coagulation activation. The study group consisted of 51 women with cervical carcinoma (20 cases), endometrial carcinoma (22 cases) or ovarian neoplasma (9 cases). Fractionated dose of ionic energy were applied as follows: 200 cGy per day, 5 days a week, therapeutic dose of 4,500-5,000 cGy.

Transient increase in thrombin generation during radiotherapy of uterine carcinoma: A preliminary study using thrombin-antithrombin III complex measurements.

The question of the study was whether irradiation therapy applied to women with cervical or endometrial carcinoma leads to increased thrombin generation. The study group consisted of 42 women with cervical carcinoma (22 cases) and endometrial carcinoma (20 cases). Irradiation (brachytherapy or/and teletherapy) was applied as follows: 200 cGy/day, 5 days a week, therapeutic dose of 4,500-5,000 cGy.
