[Optimization of intracavity irradiation in the treatment of cancer of the corpus uteri using high-activity sources].

The paper is concerned with an analysis of the results of concomitant therapy of corpus uteri cancer, Stage I-II, in 70 patients with relation to the regimen of intracavitary irradation using high energy sources on the Agat-B afterloading unit. Therapeutic efficacy, the frequency and severity of radiation complications were evaluated depending on the regimen of contact irradiation. Short-term results of concomitant radiation therapy were improved when passing over from a scheme of intracavitary irradiation of 10 Gy a week to schemes of dynamic fractionation and twofold irradiation a week at a dose of 5 Gy.
