INTRACAVITARY RADIATION THERAPY OF CANCER OF THE UTERINE CERVIX BY REMOTE AFTERLOADING WITH CYCLING SOURCES

ULRICH K. HENSCHKE M.D., PH.D.1, BASIL S. HILARIS M.D.1, and G. DAVID MAHAN B.S.1

1 From the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York

1. The high activity sources required for radiation therapy of cervix cancer with intracavitary applicators make satisfactory radiation protection of personnel difficult and costly.

2. Intracavitary radiation therapy is essential for cervix cancer treatment and no satisfactory evidence is available to show that the same results can be accomplished by transvaginal or external roentgen therapy.

3. Radiation exposure of personnel from intracavitary sources can be completely eliminated in intracavitary radiation therapy by the use of a remote afterloader with cycling sources.
