[Carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated with TAO low-dose rate intracavitary radiation].
Seventy-four patients with carcinoma of uterine cervix were treated radically with TAO low-dose rate afterloading system during 1972 to 1986. Relapse-free rates were 88.9% in stage I, 77.9% in stage II and 48.3% in stage III, and 5-year cause-specific survival rates were 88.9% in stage I, 77.2% in stage II, and 50.5% in stage III respectively. Late complication in recto-sigmoid region was noticed about 10%, but most of them in minor degree. The results remain satisfactory when compared with other published results.
