Abstract
An analysis of a material of 265 patients treated by radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma was performed with respect to severe complications. The complication rate in patients free of recurrence was 1.9 per cent and in those with recurrence 23 per cent, which indicates that severe complications are often caused by recurrence of the tumour.Keywords
