ABSTRACT
Analysis was made of the character of the perinatal development of 238 children. In 65 of these, the parents were exposed to the action of uranium fission products in the basin of the river Techa in the Chelyabinsk region. The parents were radiated approximately 5 years before the children's birth. The mean equivalent dose for endocrine glands (including gonads) of the parents amounted to about 12 centiSievert U. As compared to the control group, the basic one manifested a higher incidence of placenta and umbilical cord pathology. In the group of the radiated persons' progeny, the number of small-weight children appeared greater; a larger physiological reduction of the body weight was recorded as were later times of funic residue falling off.

The authors have analysed the results of the diagnosis and treatment in 144 patients with ovarian cancer, which took second place (28.8%) among malignant diseases of female gneitalia. Including in ovarian cancer high-risk group of females with impaired menstrual cycle and reproduction function, previously subjected to surgery on the adnexa, mammary glands, the intestine and also of those longterm followed up for uterine tumors and their detailed examination would contribute to earlier establishment of the diagnosis of ovarian cancer and enabled the percentage of far-advanced cases of the affection to be reliably reduced in 1974-75, and a percentage of clinical recovery to be increased in ovarian cancer patients to the moment of their discharge.
