The proliferative activity of carcinomas of the cervix after radiation therapy

Abstract

The findings obtained so far from 15 patients with advanced non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix uteri show a growing fall in 3H-thymidine incorporation at different intervals during radiation therapy under the application of 2,000 to 5,000 rad. The radiogenic reduction of S-phase nuclei occurs at lower radiation doses than do changes in the histopathological structure; this reduction is however ambiguous, since it is no more than just a rough indication of the decreasing proliferative intensity.
