title: [Standardized radiation treatment method for carcinoma of the uterine cervix].
abstract: Due to a world-wide information exchange on cancer therapy, a standardized treatment method for cancer is desirable. Radiation therapy for carcinoma of the uterine cervix is usually in combination with external and intracavitary irradiation. A basic treatment regiment for carcinoma of the uterine cervix with external and intracavitary irradiation was established by the major Japanese institutions. The consensus include: size and shape of irradiation field, dose, the reference from which to calculate the point A dose the external orifice of cervix is point A dose is regarded as the minor dose between right and left point As', categorized treatment methods with RALS according to cancer stage, the post operative irradiation method. This standardized treatment method will be applied for data analysis at each institution and will promote the further development of radiation therapy.
