  • Title: [Clinico-dosimetric foundation for the intracavity gamma therapy of uterine cancer on the AGAM apparatus].
    Author: Titova VA, Cheremnykh LT, Zaĭtseva NV, Makarov BV, Sokolova NA.
    Journal: Med Radiol (Mosk); 1988 Jul; 33(7):56-62. PubMed ID: 3398756.
    Abstract:
    The paper is concerned with the first experience of intracavitary gamma-therapy of uterine cancer using the AGAM unit ensuring simultaneous delivery of Cs-137 sources along 3 channels. Organizational problems of a process of irradiation were discussed. The authors gave a description of a program for the SM-4 mini computer used for the calculation of a dose field formed by a discretely moving radiation source along arbitrary type trajectories. Dose distributions in several planes were presented for previously developed methods of three-positional and multitrack irradiation of targets of a complex geometrical shape. Therapy with a favorable direct effect was provided to 35 uterine cancer patients.
