[Results of radiation treatment of cervical cancer patients using the AGAT-V apparatus]. / Rezul'taty luchevogo lecheniia bol'nykh rakom sheiki matki s ispol'zovaniem apparata AGAT-V.

1,863 patients with cancer of cervix uteri received a complex radiation treatment from the ATAT-B installation in 1974-1982. Five-year survival of patients given different focal doses of 45-73 Gy (90-178 units TDF) was studied. It was found that approximately the same survival of patients treated with different focal doses within the said dose range was matched by minimal incidence and degree of radiation injuries following exposure to doses of 45-59 Gy (105-139 units TDF). Total focal dosage and TDF values, incidence rate and degree of post-radiation complications were shown to be in a direct correlation.

Clinical appraisal is made of an associated use of radiotherapy in two groups of cervical cancer patients, subjected to intracavitary irradiation on a high-dose-rate Agat-B apparatus, depending on different dosage at point A. In the first group of patients intracavitary irradiation was carried on with single doses of 900-1200 rad and total dosage--1700-1900 rad (2600-2800 ret). The second group of patients was irradiated with single doses of 700 rad and total dosage--3000-5000 rad (1500-1800 ret). In similar early results of the treatment (85% of patients showing the recovery in stage II and 62%--in stage III) the number of early and late postradiation complications was more high (26%) in the first group than in the second (7-9%).
