    Abstract:
    The results of complex radiation therapy in 130 patients with cervical cancer were compared. Colpometrostats (components of AraT-B apparatus) with automatically-fed sources of 60Co high-level radiation were used for intracavitary treatment in 65 patients (group I). Gynecologic gamma-ray applicators with manually afterloaded 60Co low-level radiation sources were employed in group 2. No recurrence or metastasis were identified in stage I-II cases of both groups within the first 3 years of follow-up. Metastases into regional lymph nodes were detected in 3 patients (stage III) in group I and recurrences with advancing metastatic spread in 4 patients of group 2. Radiation-induced complications were relatively frequent in group 2.
