title: [Radionuclide studies of the digestive organs during radiotherapy of cervix cancer].
abstract: A radionuclide study of liver, small intestine function and a radioimmunoassay to determine the level of insulin, C-peptide and gastrin in the blood were performed in 177 patients with cervical cancer before and during radiation therapy and in 77 healthy women. Combined radiotherapy of cervical cancer was shown to result in disorder of absorptive-excretory function of the liver, disturbed fat assimilation in the small intestine and a decrease in gastrin production. Hyperfunction of the pancreas endocrine apparatus was noted in the cervical cancer patients, and radiation therapy caused the suppression of insulin production.
