Abstract
Thirteen patients with cancer of the cervix Stage IIIb (heavy) were treated with high (9) and low (4) dose rates, once a week. A total dose of 4200 cGy was delivered over 7 weeks with a fraction size of 600 cGy. Six of nine patients showed complete response following high dose rate hypofractionated radiation. It is felt that synchronization of cells into a sensitive phase during low dose rate radiation is not the determinant of outcome even when duration of treatment is only 5 to 6 hours.Entities:
