Abstract:
The retrospective analysis of 242 patients treated for uterine cervix cancer at VUKEO Brno within 1977-1982 has been realized. The patients being only treated with radiotherapy alone using the external 42 MeV X-ray betatron beam irradiation of the pelvis, and the vaginal and intrauterine application of 226Ra, were included in this study. The complications of therapy were evaluated in accordance with the grade of severity, location and time of their source. The radiotherapeutical complications of the 2nd stage appeared for 27 patients (11.2%), and the complications of the 3rd stage appeared for 8 patients (3.3%). The total five-years' survival rate is 71%, 92% for 37 patients in the Ib stage, 78% for 105 patients in the IIa, b stages, and 54% for 100 patients in the IIIa, b stages.
