ABSTRACT
The data on patients with the parametrial spread of cervical cancer, stage II and III, treated by different types of distant radiotherapy are analysed. An insignificant improvement of the 5-year cure results was noted only in patients in stage II, when treated on modern gammatron machines as compared with the previously used roentgenotherapy, and it may be due to a larger radiation dosage. The number of early and late complications is found to increase. Some methodical recommendations for treatment of these patients are given.

Clinico-morphological data on 25 patients are presented, in whom within the terms from 7 months to 25 years following radiotherapy for cervical cancer an increased size of the uterine body was noted, the latter would practically be induced either by recurrent tumor growth (in 13 patients), or primary-multiple tumor-adenocarcinoma (in 6 patients), or mixed mesodermal tumor (5 patients).

Observations of primary multiple tumors in patients with cervical cancer, treated during the period of 1946--1970, are analysed. It was found that the number of patients with multiple tumors increased considerably as compared with the period of 1926--1947. Most frequently, the second malignant tumor was observed in the internal genitalia, mammary gland and digestive tract.
