title: [The significance of primary radiotherapy in cervical carcinoma in older women].
abstract: In spite of the increasing interest in geriatric-operative therapy primary irradiation therapy still has its important place in the treatment of cervical cancer in cases of higher age. About every third patient with cervical cancer belongs to the age group over 60 years, which is more or less excluded from operative therapy. The advantage of irradiation therapy is to be seen in the low post-therapeutic mortality and the remarkable survival and healing rates.
