Abstrakt: The results of therapy of 2 groups of patients with microinvasive cervical carcinoma were analyzed. Intracavitary gamma-beam therapy at single doses of 5 and 10 Gy and cumulative doses of 40 and 30 Gy, respectively, with the Agat-B remote loading unit was applied to 95 patients (the 1st group). Wertheim's operation (radical hysterectomy) was performed on 62 patients (the 2nd group). Intracavitary gamma-beam therapy made it possible to deliver therapeutic dose levels to a tumor and to achieve high survival rates of cervical microcarcinoma patients with a low frequency and a weak degree of radiation reactions and complications.
