[Clinical studies of the radiosensitizing effect of small doses of ionizing radiation (preliminary data)]

The authors present the preliminary clinical results of radiation therapy of patients with uterine tumors (adenogenic endometrial cancer) under the conditions of short-term stimulation of proliferation with small doses of ionizing radiation to enhance the damaging effect of the main radiation. The results of a cytological study of 72 patients and 2-year follow-up results of 20 patients show that the use of small radiation doses as a radiosensitizing factor in radiation therapy of resistant cancer types holds promise. It is advisable that these studies should be continued.
