title: [Value of the method of dose fractionation in external irradiation of the lesser pelvis in patients with cancer of the cervix uteri].
abstract: Five-year results of treatment in 661 patients with cervical cancer depending on the technic of dose fractionation in external irradiation of the lesser pelvis under static gamma therapy are reported. Two methods of fractionation were employed: small (daily irradiation, the single focal dose of 125--150 rad) and average dose fractionation (irradiation 3 times a week, focal dosage--280--330 rad). In similar initial data (age, stage of the disease, a form of tumor growth and its histological structure) both with the combined and associated radiotherapy the best five-year results were gained with average dose fractionation.
