[Use of the Decatron gamma therapeutic apparatus in treating cervical cancer].
Since August 1974 to November 1978 95 patients with cancer of the uterine servix were given high-dose-rate afterloading therapy which was carried out on a "Decatron" machine with a distant control. The dosage regimes in high-dose-rate afterloading therapy and in the routine intracavitary gamma therapy are reported. The immediate results of the treatment are shown comparatively as well as variations in the incidence of early and late radiation reactions.
