| Sumario: | It is well known today that radiotherapy is the most efficient method of treatment of the carcinoma of the cervix. It is usually accepted aiso that the incidence of some sequels is justifiable as soon as it be kept in the lowest level possible. Trying to find out if this has correlation with the incidence of hypogastrium subcutaneous fibrosis, in the cervix carcinoma treatment, 96 patients treated at Instituto de Radioterapia Osvaldo Cruz were analysed. The incidence of fibrosis was related to treatment technics, tumor dose and TDF factor. The results indicated that TDF factor is the only one that can be directiy related to the incidence of this sequeis. The critical value for TDF factor was formed as 110, and any increase on it elevates the fibrosis incidence by a factor of 5. It is recommended finally that the TDF calculation should be utilized as the main factor in the selection of the several parameters envolved in this kind of treatment. |
