Description

The results of radiation treatment of 390 cases of cancer of the corpus uteri were analysed. Five-year survival rate for the whole group was 62.1%. Such factors as stage, degree of cell differentiation, pathogenic type of tumor, its localization within the uterus as well as patients' age and method of intracavitary irradiation appeared to influence the effectiveness of treatment. The use of spherical and chain applicators (after V.P. Tobilevich) was followed by a 7-18% increase in the efficacy of radiotherapy, as compared with linear devices
