No other malignant condition requires more individualization than carcinoma of the vagina. Invariably, more than one, and often two modalities are called upon and quite frequently more than one radium technique is employed. The cervicovaginal irradiator described consolidates these techniques into a single unit, namely plaque, tandem, and low intensity needle, which is mechanically simple, inexpensive, and lends itself well to the Paterson-Parker system for dosage calculation.
