title: [Intracavitary brachytherapy method using after-loading for treatment of women with endometrial uterine neoplasm].
abstract: We would like to introduce intracavitary brachytherapy using double rod-shaped applicators. The women who are treated with this method are evaluated in III FIGO stage and the patients in stage I and II who could not undergo the operation. This method allows to distribute equally the dose in whole uterus, insertion of the applicators is not difficult. The brachytherapy treatment is well tolerated.
