Abstrakt: The authors presented 5-year results of combined radiation therapy of 217 patients with stage I-II cervical cancer using 60Co high energy sources on the Agat-B unit for intracavitary irradiation. Intracavitary therapy with fractions of 10 and 5 Gy was compared. No significant correlation was found between a therapeutic effect and a fraction value. Nevertheless irradiation of 5 Gy was found more preferable as it was less frequently accompanied by complications of the adjacent organs.
