Human cervical cancer clearance after /sup 252/Cf neutron brachytherapy versus conventional photon brachytherapy
Journal Article
·
· Am. J. Clin. Oncol.; (United States)
Tumor clearance pattern was studied for Stage IB carcinoma of the cervix using /sup 252/Cf neutron brachytherapy followed by fractionated radiotherapy as compared to conventional therapy using fractionated radiotherapy followed by /sup 137/Cs photon low-dose rate (LDR) implant therapy. Reduction in bulk of tumor was assessed by regular and frequent serial clinical observations. The tumor clearance pattern of the neutron-treated patients was greatly accelerated and radically different from those treated using conventional radiation.
