title: Carcinoma of the cervix: a time dose analysis of control and complications.
abstract: The use of 3 dose assessment systems is compared. The Manchester approach which measures a dose to Point A and Point B; the Paris approach using rads and mgh; and Ellis's NSD approach appear to have equal value in predicting probability of pelvic control and the likelihood of complication over the dose range employed at this hospital. Control increases with higher dose schemes, but complications appear to be influenced by other variables not accounted for in the 3 systems.
