[Histomorphologic examinations of bone marrow of patients with gynecologic malignoma before, during, and after radiotherapy (author's transl)].
The histomorphological changes in the bone marrow were investigated in 9 patients treated by primary irradiation for cervical cancer. Bone marrow specimens were obtained by the Yamshidi puncture technique from the spina iliaca posterior superior after radiotherapy with different radiation dosages, as well as four months after termination of radiotherapy. All patients showed disappearance of almost all the haematopoietic cells in the irradiated area and, with the exception of one patient, no repopularization of the bone marrow or fibrosis. The possible mechanisms leading to these results are discussed and comparisons with the international literature are drawn.
