Abstract
In the years 1948-1967 8275 patients with cervical carcinoma in various grades of progression were treated at the Institute of Oncology in Warsaw by radiotherapy from external fields. Five-year survival without signs of recurrence was obtained in 4204 cases, 3863 of them were irradiated from external fields with X-rays under conventional conditions, while 341 received Co/sup 60/ radiotherapy. In 43 patients treated with X-rays and radium and regarded as cured radiological evidence of femoral neck fracture was obtained. These patients account for 1.1% of all cured patients. In the group treated with Co/sup 60/ radiation in only 1 case femoral neck fracture was observed (0.3%). In the group of cured patients with femoral neck fracture the method of irradiation from external fields, the age, clinical course, radiological appearance of radiation-induced changes and the method of fracture management were analysed.
