title: [Assessment of late radiation injuries arising after treatment of cervix cancer].
abstract: The author proposes a method for the registration of late radiation injuries based upon the principles of the evaluation of efficacy of therapy of cancer patients approved by the WHO in 1979. It permits simultaneous registration of the frequency of late radiation injuries and patients' survival. The author gives examples of the calculation of the frequency of such complications in the rectum of cervical cancer patients. It has been shown that the determination of the frequency of late radiation injuries without account of patients' survival can result in errors while estimating this value.
