Histochemical investigations were done on biopsies obtained from 23 patients with carcinoma of the cervix during irradiation treatment. The activity of alkaline phosphatase of the tumor cells was most sensitive to x-ray and radium irradiation; it decreased rapidly in the course of x-ray treatmert and disappeared completely in radium treatnaent. The enzyme activity of the granulation tissue formed in the environment of the tumor was increased. Glycogen, glucoprotein, ribonucleic acid, and deoxyribonucleic acid had a great radiation resistance. Even the decaying tumor cell particles kept their PAS- positivity and pyronophily. Lymphatic vessels and plasma cells were of significant importance in the removal of decaying tissue proteins and carbohydrates. (auth)
