Description

The first experience of intracavitary γ-therapy of uterine cancer using the AGAM unit ensuring simultaneous delivery of Cs-137 sources along 3 channels is described. Organizational problems of a process of irradiation were discussed. A description of a program for the SM-4 mini computer used for the calculation of a dose field formed by a descretely moving radiation source along arbitrary type trajectories is given. Dose distributions in several planes were presented for previously developed methods of three-positional and multiquark irradiation of targets of a complex geometrical shape. Therapy with a favorable direct effect was provided to 35 uterine cancer patients
