Abstract

1. Transvaginal irradiation is indicated in: patients with cancer of the cervical stump, with hemorrhaging cancer of the cervix, and in patients where intracavitary radium treatment is not possible for cancer of the cervix uteri.2. Transvaginal cesium 137 therapy is made practical by adapting del Regato applicators to the teletherapy unit, and may be preferable to low kilovoltage radiations because of the better quality of its radiations and improved depth dose immediately beneath the mucosal and tumor surface.
