[Afterloading method for simulating the intrauterine packing method in case of carcinoma of the body of the uterus (author's transl)].
A method of simulating the conventional radium packing method by the afterloading system is presented which consists in introducing three or four probes into the cavity of the uterus which can be spread in a defined manner by a balloon lying in a central position. The probe combination can be adapted to the individual forms and sizes of the uterus by varying the number, length and charge of the probes and by different manners of spreading and different location times of the individual probes. The method is applied for long term therapy as well as for short term irradiation.
