Treatment experiences with intracavitary 137Cs after-loading in a five-year patient material with uterine-cervical carcinoma.

Between 1979 and 1983 a total of 106 patients with carcinoma of the cervix and 53 with that of the uterine body were treated. The irradiation treatment of the patients was carried out by after-loading, with Curietron equipment using 137Cs. Since no reports have so far been published in Hungary on a patient material treated by the above method and with caesium isotope, it seems worthwhile to review the material.
