[Radiation assisted diagnosis and complex treatment of penile carcinoma].

Recurrence-free survival rate after conservative treatment of penile carcinoma was as high as 81%. The best results were obtained with use of combined radiotherapy (monotherapy and telegamma therapy concurrent with penile resection or circumcision) (91.6 and 75%, respectively). Organ-saving treatment was most effective in T1-T2 penile carcinoma while MRI yielded the most reliable diagnostic evidence on depth of primary tumor invasion and regional lymph node involvement.

The paper deals with the results of treatment of 110 patients with advanced ovarian cancer showing signs of tumor progression following polychemotherapy with two regimens which included radiotherapy. Variants of distant and contact irradiation individually-tailored to suit the types of tumor are discussed. Details of single and repeated courses of chemoradiation are presented. Such beneficial effects as longer survival and better quality of life were registered in 76%.
