Popis: Approximately over a hundred patients received brachytherapy during this period using the system. The central failures at our center have been analyzed with respect to the relative positions of the radioactive sources, the relative strengths of individual sources, and the relative doses of external versus brachytherapy. Dosimetric considerations indicate that some of the failures could be accounted in the light of relative strengths of radioactive sources. The laparotomy findings in a few of these patients who underwent an exenteration will be described in relation to the therapy administered to these patients.
