[Results of the intraperitoneal application of radioactive gold in cases of ovarian cancer (author's transl)].
Radioactive gold was instilled once into the peritoneal cavity of 248 patients with ovarian carcinoma of varying stages. The criterium for the radioactive gold instillation was either for the post-operative treatment in stage 1A or for the treatment of ascites in more advanced stages. The treatment had no clear cut influence on the five year survival rate. The treatment with radioactive gold Au 198 was very effective in the treatment of ascites and had less side effects than other radioactive colloidal materials.
