[Radiotherapy in primary radically operated ovarian cancer].
The basis of primary treatment is consequent surgery. Radiation therapy is not necessary for borderline tumors. An effect has been seen in stages Ib to III with a small amount of post-operative residual tumor. A comparison with the value of alternative chemotherapy has not yet been made. Instillation of the radioisotopes is effective. The value of radiation therapy after successful chemotherapy of stages III/IV has not yet been investigated enough. The results of radiation therapy after surgical and chemotherapeutical failure are poor.
