[Clinico-dosimetric foundation for the intracavity gamma therapy of uterine cancer on the AGAM apparatus]. 1988

V A Titova, and L T Cheremnykh, and N V Zaĭtseva, and B V Makarov, and N A Sokolova

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.
