Abstract
Radiation therapy constitutes the main treatment modality in patients with locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix. Despite significant advances in equipment and techniques during the last three decades, and a better understanding of tumor radiobiology, the results remain unsatisfactory. Failure to control the primary tumor is still the most common cause of death in these women.
