Description

In case of carcinoma of the epipharynx, the superfactionated and computer-optimized intracavitary radiotherapy with a highly active radiation source moved by steps of 5 mm is an easily tolerated local measure to boost teletherapy. This field of irradiation and application techniques, of dosage and optimization represents an improvement of methods well-known since some thirty years. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die superfraktionierte und computeroptimierte intrakavitaere Strahlentherapie mit einer hochaktiven in 5-mm-Schritten bewegten Strahlenquelle ist bei Epipharynxkarzinomen eine gut vertraegliche lokale Massnahme zur Ergaenzung der Tiefentherapie. Die neu aufgezeigten Wege der Bestrahlungs- und Applikationstechnik, der Dosierung und der Optimierung entsprechen einer Weiterentwicklung einer seit zirka 30 Jahren bekannten Bestrahlungsmethode.
