Abstract

The authors present five years results of the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the cervix uteri with 252Cf intracavitary therapy and increased dose of external beam radiation with hypoxyradiotherapy. The acute hypoxic state was achieved by inhalation of hypoxic gas mixture containing 8–8.5% oxygen.
