[The prognostic significance of cytological data in the radiation therapy of cervix cancer]. / Prognosticheskoe znachenie tsitologicheskikh dannykh pri luchevoi terapii raka sheiki matki.

ABSTRACT

Cytological investigation sometimes makes it possible to establish tumor progression or recurrence even before the appearance of the first clinical symptoms. An increase in the expression of radiation changes with further absence of tumor elements during a follow-up should be regarded as a prognostically favorable factor of the effectiveness of radiation therapy.
