[Radiotherapy of cancer of the stump of the cervix uteri].
The paper is concerned with the results of combined radiotherapy provided to 68 patients with cancer of the cervix uteri stump. An impossibility of homogenous irradiation of the whole affected organ due to its anatomic specificities during intracavitary gamma-therapy following the prior supravaginal amputation of the uterus results in a dose deficiency in the cupola of the cervix uteri stump which should be made up for by gamma-beam therapy. It makes it possible to achieve the 5-year survival in 81.8% of patients.
