Journal Article · · Federation Proc., Transl. Suppl.
OSTI ID:4749917

Study of the functional state of the thyroid gland by means of I/sup 131/ demonstrated a distinct percentage increase of the accumulation of this isotope at the peak of the general radiation reaction in 39 out of 67 patients with cancer of the cervix who were subjected to curie roentgen therapy. In 28 patients, in whom menopause had developed, several years prior to discovery of the cervical cancer and application of irradiation therapy, the function of the thyroid gland was not changed in comparison with the average functional indexes of healthy women of the corresponding age.
