title: [Simplified standardized afterloading therapy of cervical cancer using a new applicator system (modeled after the Munich method)].
abstract: In order to be able to continue to benefit from the Munich method - fixed applicator geometry - even after changing from radium therapy to low dose rate afterloading therapy, our department has developed a standardized treatment program for the ring applicator. Its prerequisites are the dose specified on the Manchester point A and the distribution of sources specified for the ring applicator. The make-up of the source flow in the ring catheter is chosen in such a way as to reduce the maximum rectal dose to more favourable levels.
