[Radiotherapy of 4468 uterine carcinomas].
The treatment results of 3847 carcinomas of the cervix and of 621 carcinomas of the uterine corpus during a period from 1928 to 1966 are reported in a statistical review. The constancy of the absolute recovery rate of carcinomas comprising fifty per cent within all stages and different time intervals is supposed to be due to early standardization and multiple fractionation of the radiation therapy maintained without essential modifications. The recovery rate of carcinomas of the corpus was found amounting to 61 per cent altogether, remaining also unchanged, though, between cases with carcinomas solely irradiated (43%) and woman who were surgically treated before irradiation (87%) the difference of efficiency rates was increasing with the years.
