[Geriatric gynecology with special reference to malignant tumors].
After the enumeration of every single problem encountered in the geriatric gynecology, it has been proved, that the malignant tumors of such cases are of a special significance. according to the epidemiological facts of the Austrian Cancer-Registration-Statistics between the years 1971--1975 (even if the cancer of cervix uteri is excluded) more than 60% of the cases are still seen in the geriatric group. Increasing risk (by rate of incidence) of malignant tumors of internal genitals or the breast in aged women is also known and is proved to be very specific. Inspite of the progress won in geriatric surgical gynecology, the post-operative complications are still the negative factors, which limitate the success. Therefore today radiotherapy of the malignant tumors especially in geriatric-gynecological patients is gaining more and more importance.
