phosphorus-radioisotopes and Vaginal-Neoplasms

The report deals with a retrospective analysis of applications of different in vivo and in vitro methods of radionuclide studies (1863) in patients with gynecological tumors in 1972-1985. The said methods were employed for making primary diagnosis, assessing tumor extension as well as for evaluating the effects of tumor growth and the efficacy of radiation and surgical treatment. Apart from offering considerable advantages as diagnostic procedures, radionuclide studies may be used in planning treatment modalities and schemes of rehabilitation of cancer patients. The results also suggest a wider application of nuclear procedures in addressing the diagnostic problems of practice of oncology.
