Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial, Radiotherapy, Radiation Tolerance, Abdominal Cavity/radiation effectsAbstract
The authors analyze the results of radiation tolerance of 44 patients with ovarian carcinoma, submitted to radiotherapy. Twenty-two patients were treated with the classical technics and the remainders with the modified technic proposed by the authours, who recommend its routine use, because the patients have suported better this kind of treatment.
