title: [Effect of sensitizing doses of radiation on hormonal homeostasis in combined radiation treatment of cervical cancer].
abstract: Low sensitizing doses given to patients with cervical carcinoma in the course of complex radiation treatment were responsible for a greater decrease in the frequency of radiation injuries to the intestine as compared with standard complex radiation procedure. This was matched by an increase in the incidence of exacerbation of chronic adnexitis. Radiation appeared to inhibit thyroid function. Low sensitizing dose treatment given in the course of complex radiotherapy did not affect the gland's function. However, cases of stage III cancer exhibited a more pronounced decrease in thyrotrophin levels accompanied by higher somatotropin levels.
