title: [The new Würzburg data bank for radiotherapy].
abstract: Conception, structure and realisation of a new data base for radiation therapy are presented. The data base utilizes the commercial data base system ORACLE and the data base language SQL. A program package for statistical analyses including Kaplan-Meier-calculations, logrank test and Gehan/Breslow test was elaborated. The input of the data recorded on form sheets is carried out on a data base of the Tumor Centre in the first instance. From there the data are transferred to the ORACLE data base. Up to now the courses of disease of about 13,000 patients are stored. Therefore, extensive and detailed statistical analyses are practicable.
