title: Radiotherapy in carcinoma cervix.
abstract: The techniques of radiation treatment of cervical cancer with radium evolved empirically. During the last few decades a lot of technological breakthrough has occurred in the field of brachytherapy mainly due to revolutionary changes brought by computerisation. The difficulties encountered during intracavitary insertions and the practical problems have been discussed. The complications following acute and late reactions have also been discussed.
