Abstract
Relationship between hemoglobin level and survival and/or recurrence rate was studied in radiation treated group of postmenopausal women with uterine cervix carcinoma. The data suggest that anemia alters unfavorably the effectiveness of radiotherapy. A possible explanation of the lowered control rate is that due to deficiency of tissue oxygenation by reduced oxygen carriage proportion of hypoxic cells increases and impairs the radiosensitivity.Entities:
