title: [The effect of metronidazole on the radiosensitivity of cancer of the uterine cervix].
abstract: A comparative study of the effect of rectal administration of metronidazole on radiosensitivity of cervical cancer with relation to tumor sizes and a Hb level was conducted. The effect of a direct tumor reaction on survival was investigated. Rectal administration of metronidazole proved to be effective in large tumor sizes and a low Hb level. The use of metronidazole resulted in an increase in the number of patients with complete tumor regression and an increase in their survival. A low Hb level is an independent prognostic factor in radiation therapy of cervical cancer leading to an increase in tumor radiosensitivity.
