[Tolerance dose of the small intestines and colon in patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix].

From the clinical data of the 199 patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix from August 1978 to December 1982 using external irradiation and RALS, the tolerance dose of rectum and sigmoid colon were considered as 65 Gy and 70 Gy, respectively. On the other hand, from the review of 86 patients who had been treated for paraaortic lymph node based on a survey of Kansai Cancer Therapist Group, the tolerance doses of small intestine were considered as 40-50 Gy. For further reassessment of tolerance dose, the analysis of volume factor and basic research for pathogenesis of complication are essential.
