[Evaluation of combined treatment in stage-II cervical cancer in terms of morphologic structure of the tumor].

The efficacy of stage II cervical cancer (CC) treatment was evaluated in two groups: squamous cell carcinoma--151, cervical adenocarcinoma (CAC)--49. All the patients received combined treatment (preoperative large-fraction brachytherapy + surgery + postoperative radiation). A comparison of the results highlighted the role of morphological pattern of tumor as a factor of cure.

[Short-term and end-results of combined treatment of patients with stage-II cervical cancer].

The short-term and end-results of combined therapy of 109 patients with stage II epidermal carcinoma of cervix uteri are presented. Preoperative intracavitary large-fraction contact gamma therapy from the AGAT-B installation was followed by Wertheim's or simple hysterectomy, lymphadenectomy and distant gamma therapy. Postoperative mortality rate was 0.

[Immediate and long-term result of combined therapy for endometrial cancer, including preoperative contact irradiation with the device "selectron"].

The paper presents the results of treatment of 78 cases of endometrial carcinoma who received pre-operative intracavitary irradiation from a Selectron installation, total hysterectomy and post-operative telegammatherapy to the small pelvis. Due to the ablastic effect of the pre-operative large-dose fractionated irradiation, neither tumor recurrences in the vaginal stump, nor any radiation-related post-operative complications were observed. The 5-year survival in endometrial carcinoma patients was 92.

[The results of combined radiation therapy of stage-IB cervical cancer depending on the method of intracavity gamma therapy].

The authors described the results of combined radiotherapy of 219 cervical cancer patients, stage TIBN0M0, of them 47 were treated by routine intracavitary gamma-beam therapy including intracavitary irradiation based on the principle of successive administration of low activity radionuclide sources and 134 patients-by that of high activity radionuclide sources. Gamma-beam therapy was of one type. There was no significant difference in 5-year survival rates in patients treated by combined radiotherapy including intracavitary gamma-beam therapy based on the principle of successive administration of low or high activity radionuclides.

[Immediate results of surgical and combined treatment of patients over 60 years of age with cancer of the uterine body].

The paper discusses the results of long-term investigations of application of surgery for endometrial carcinoma in patients aged 60-84 years. Intraoperative lethality was 0.2% [corrected], postoperative--0.
