title: [Radiotherapy of ovarian carcinoma].
abstract: It is important to select the patients for irradiation treatment with great care. A review will be made of the existing data on the value of radiotherapy. The main factors which must be taken into consideration in order to improve radiation results are: type of radiation, modalities of treatment volume and radiation dose, biological parameters, and the combination of cytostatic agents and radiotherapy. Recent studies taking these factors into account have demonstrated a significant improvement in the results of radiotherapy of ovarian cancer.
