title: [Primary radiotherapeutic eutic results of uterine carcinoma in the years 1960 to 1968].
abstract: A report is given of 448 cases of corpus carcinoma, treated by primary radiotherapy in the I-st Gynecological University Hospital in the years 1960 to 1968.  The 5-years-healing rate in this period was 50.4 percent.  It is emphasized that the cases represent a negative selection, as only inbetween the ages of 61 and 90 years.  Two women died primarily from pulmonary embolism (0.4 percent).  In  two patients a rectovaginal fistula developed.  The increasing number of patients with diabetes mellitus (23.2 percent) is striking.
