[State of the urinary organs after combined radiation therapy of cervical cancer using the Agat-B tube apparatus].

The state of urinary organs was examined in 126 patients when using for an associated radiotherapy of cervical cancer a high-dose-rate pipe apparatus "Agat-B" together with moving distant gamma-therapy. Early radiation cystitis was noted in 31 (24.6%) patients, which was not the cause of development of late radiation injuries. Late radiation catarrhal cystitis was revealed in 26 (21.7%) patients, ulcerous--in 17 (13.8%), during the first year radiation cystitis being noted in 12 (11.2%) patients, following two years--in 21 (22.6%), following three years--in 11 (14.5%) among the examined patients. Reduced functioning in the upper urinary tract more frequently occurred during the first year after the therapy, as noted in 50 (59.6%) patients. No increase was found in the number of complications on the part of urinary organs while employing this method of associated radiotherapy compared with other technics.
