title: Improvement of combined method of cervix cancer therapy and evaluation of the results of its clinical use.
abstract: The results of combined therapy in 544 cervix cancer patients involving in the first step surgery (213 patients) or radiation combinations (331 patients) have been analysed. A method involving in the first step preoperative radiation ensuring a decrease in frequency of local-regional tumor recurrences was found to be more effective. The use of preoperative radiation by large-dose fractionation regimen proved to be reasonable, allowing us to avoid regrowth of tumor in the area of surgical and radiation attack without an increase in the number and severity of postoperative sequalae.
