Abstrakt:	Background: Rapid development of radiotherapeutic techniques and implementation of radiation therapy (RT) nanotechnologies in practice, taking into account principles of radiobiology, ensures that the planned dose will bedelivered to the target volume with minimal irradiation of healthy tissues while maintaining the guaranteed RTquality. Therefore, further advance of RT involves not only implementation of the new technologies in radiationpractice, but also the intensive developments in fields of radiation medicine and clinical radiobiology. Objective: search for optimal models of the high-energy (HDR - high dose rate) brachytherapy (BT) using the 192Irsource in comparison with effects of the reference gamma radiation from 60Co, thereby, to increase the effectivenessof chemoradiation therapy (CRT) of gynecological cancer patients (GCPs) with minimal radiation loads on criticalorgans and tissues in the tumor environment. The radiobiological study was aimed to determine the feasibility ofusing the transmembrane potential (TMP) and intensity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in peripheralblood lymphocytes (PBL) as predictors of radiosensitivity of non-malignant cells from the tumor environment or itsbed in order to minimize the RT complications in GCPs. Materials and Methods: Patients (n = 115) with cancer stages II-III, T2-3N0-1M0 were managed with comprehensiveconservative treatment. Three groups of patients were selected depending on the applied HDR BT method against abackground of the administered chemosensitizing agents. Blood samples of GCPs (n = 24) before the RT initiationand of apparently healthy individuals (AHIs, i.e. the control group, n = 18) were taken for the radiobiologicalresearch. Results: Review of the direct results of 60Co or 192Ir sources use in HDR BT and of the follow-up data showed theincreased tumor positive response in the main study groups after CRT course by respectively 16.6 % and 20.1 % incomparison with 60Со HDR BT administration. Concerning local reactions it was noted that grade II radiation reactions were almost absent in the main groups. According to the results of radiobiological studies, it was establishedthat TMP level in PBL of GCPs was 1.36 times higher than in AHIs. Conclusions: Thus, the emerging of late radiation injuries depended on the accuracy of of individual computer planning and correct reproduction of the planned RT course, timely correction of treatment programs, use of a complexof rational medical prophylaxis, severity of tumor process and concomitant disorders, as well as on the used type ofHDR radiation sources (192Ir and 60Co). Changes in TMP values and intensity of ROS production in PBL of GCPs in comparison with AHIs, and the high values of these parameters in PBL of individual patients are a rationale to specifythem as additional indicators characterizing the possibility of radiation complications before the RT planning.
