Patterns of failures after definitive radiation therapy were analyzed in 88 patients with primary carcinoma of the vagina treated between 1957 and 1975. The majority of the local failures in early stages of the disease (I, II and a few III) were due to inadequate treatment either by external beam therapy or brachytherapy. In some cases the inadequate treatments were unavoidable (previous radiation treatment) and in a few they were due to poor brachytherapy technique. Distant failures are still a problem and need to be given further attention.
对1957年至1975年间接受治疗的88例原发性阴道癌患者在根治性放射治疗后的失败模式进行了分析。疾病早期阶段（I期、II期及少数III期）的大多数局部失败是由于外照射治疗或近距离放射治疗不足所致。在某些情况下，治疗不足是不可避免的（既往有放射治疗史），少数情况是由于近距离放射治疗技术不佳。远处转移仍然是一个问题，需要进一步关注。
