[The tolerance dose of the urinary bladder].
The tolerance dose of the urinary bladder was estimated by studying the late injury of the urinary bladder in 79 cases of the carcinoma of the urinary bladder treated by external irradiation, in 253 cases of the uterine cervix treated by conformation radiotherapy technique or two-axes arc therapy combined with low-dose rate intracavitary irradiation of small doses, and 55 cases of the carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated by low-dose rate intracavitary irradiation combined with whole pelvic irradiation with the center splitter. As a result, the tolerance dose in case of radiotherapy of the carcinoma of the urinary bladder was revealed to be as low as TDF 100. The tolerance dose in case of radiotherapy of the carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated mainly by conformation radiotherapy technique or two-axes arc therapy was proved to be TDF 110-120, and treated mainly by intracavitary irradiation 120 or over.
