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 0.8%; five-year survival--81.8 +/- 4.4%. Early- and late-onset postoperative complication frequency was largely determined by extent of surgery rather than preoperative intracavitary irradiation.
