ABSTRACT

The paper deals with the results of treatment of 110 patients with advanced ovarian cancer showing signs of tumor progression following polychemotherapy with two regimens which included radiotherapy. Variants of distant and contact irradiation individually-tailored to suit the types of tumor are discussed. Details of single and repeated courses of chemoradiation are presented. Such beneficial effects as longer survival and better quality of life were registered in 76%.
