Radiation therapy of ovarian carcinoma: presentation of a six-field technique. 1986

N Einhorn, and K von Hamos, and T Hindmarsh, and C Lagergren, and M Lundell, and H Mellstedt, and B Tjernberg

A new technique for radiotherapy in ovarian carcinoma is presented. The aim was to deliver a homogeneous radiation dose to the entire abdominal cavity. The whole abdomen, except for 20% of the upper compartment, received a homogeneous dose of 40 Gy, while 2/3 of the kidneys and the posterior part of the liver received a dose ranging from 40 to 20 Gy. No clinically significant impairment of liver function was seen during follow-up.
