title: [Immediate and long-term result of combined therapy for endometrial cancer, including preoperative contact irradiation with the device "selectron"].
abstract: The paper presents the results of treatment of 78 cases of endometrial carcinoma who received pre-operative intracavitary irradiation from a Selectron installation, total hysterectomy and post-operative telegammatherapy to the small pelvis. Due to the ablastic effect of the pre-operative large-dose fractionated irradiation, neither tumor recurrences in the vaginal stump, nor any radiation-related post-operative complications were observed. The 5-year survival in endometrial carcinoma patients was 92.2%, following the integration of said procedure with combined therapy.
