Ninety-six patients treated with irradiation for epidermoid carcinoma of the uterine cervix were evaluated for the occurrence of subcutaneous tissue of the hypogastrium. They were retrospectively stratified according to time, dose and fractionation (TDF) factors of the subcutaneous tissue, total dose delivered and treatment techniques. In our study only the TDF value of the subcutaneous tissue was unequivocally related to the occurrence of fibrosis. The numerical value of the TDF was found to be 110 above which 88.2% of the patients displayed fibrosis.
