Abstract

This study presents the cystotonometric checks of trends in 102 patients with irradiated carcinoma of the cervix up to the time of the so-called five year survival recovery. As compared with a standard control group concerning the function of the urinary bladder a distinct tendency to hypertonia is realized and attributed as inevitable to radiotherapy. The moderate load being present before the onset of irradiation is mentioned, resulting from diagnostic operations and from the primary disease. Based on these observations, functional findings which allow objectivation appear to be indicated, the aim being to recognize, as early as possible, the increase of vesical reactions with regard to gynecologic radiotherapy and later follow-up care.
