[Intraoperative abdominopelvic radiotherapy by single dose electrons].
Thirty-four patients received, during laparotomy, a 15-20 Gy localized irradiation from a 10-13 MeV beam of electrons supplied by a linear accelerator and focalized by means of a localizer especially designed for this purpose. This technique is indicated for localized residual tumours of the pelvis and intra-operative irradiation of the lumbar aorta, as part of a chemo-radiotherapeutic programme in patients with advanced cancer of the cervix. It is too early to evaluate the medium-term results, but the technique is very well tolerated immediately.
