Abstract
The incidence of injuries following radiation therapy for carcinoma of the uterine cervix is markedly decreased by the administration of alkoxyglycerols. This is the case for less harmful injuries as well as for the more severe ones, i.e. the fistulas. Recto‐vaginal and vesico‐vaginal fistulas are reduced with 47 per cent when alkoxyglycerols are administered prior to to radiation treatment.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
