[Effectiveness of treatment of cervical cancer using an apparatus for high-energy gamma-therapy].

Clinical appraisal is made of an associated use of radiotherapy in two groups of cervical cancer patients, subjected to intracavitary irradiation on a high-dose-rate Agat-B apparatus, depending on different dosage at point A. In the first group of patients intracavitary irradiation was carried on with single doses of 900-1200 rad and total dosage--1700-1900 rad (2600-2800 ret). The second group of patients was irradiated with single doses of 700 rad and total dosage--3000-5000 rad (1500-1800 ret). In similar early results of the treatment (85% of patients showing the recovery in stage II and 62%--in stage III) the number of early and late postradiation complications was more high (26%) in the first group than in the second (7-9%).
