Abstract.Grigsby PW, Portelance L, Williamson JF. High dose rate (HDR) cervical ring applicator to control bleeding from cervical carcinoma.The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of the high dose rate (HDR) cervical ring applicator to control acute cervical bleeding from carcinoma of the uterine cervix. This study consists of 15 patients presenting with invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix with acute vaginal bleeding requiring transfusion. Initial irradiation, delivered emergently because of vaginal bleeding, consisted of two fractions (5 Gy each fraction to the surface of the cervix) utilizing the HDR intracavitary vaginal ring applicator. Two fractions were administered at one week intervals for a total of 10 Gy to the surface of the cervix. Irradiation doses from the HDR ring applications were not considered into the composite total dose to point A. Diagnostic imaging evaluation and initiation of external irradiation were commenced during this initial weekly interval between fractions. Vaginal bleeding requiring no additional transfusions was achieved in 93% (14/15) of patients. No acute or long-term Grades 3, 4, or 5 bowel or bladder sequelae were noted. In conclusion, HDR cervical ring brachytherapy is effective in controlling acute vaginal bleeding and can be delivered without undue acute or long-term toxicity.

SummaryThe purpose of this investigation was to study the accumulation of 87mSr in the proximal parts of the femoral bones of patients treated previously by external irradiation due to cancer of the uterine cervix. It was assumed that this method may be used in the future for the early diagnosis of postirradiation changes of bone (osteoradionecrosis).The incidence of postirradiation changes of the femoral neck among 5735 patients treated between 1950 and 1961 at the Department of Gynaecology of the Institute, was 0.8%. In the early period of postirradiation changes the patients complain only of pain and limitation of physical activities. If radiological and gynaecological findings were negative, the differential diagnosis between early recurrence and early osteoradionecrosis became impossible.49 selected patients were scanned after intravenous injection of 10—115 μCi of 87mSr per kg of body weight (0.5 up to 6.0 mCi). Illustrative cases of normal pelvic bones as well as postirradiation changes are presented and discussed. The authors conclude that the findings justify further systematic studies on the morphology of accumulation of 87mSr in the bones.

SummaryThe clinical course and the haematologic events in a patient suffering from metastatic thyroid cancer after administration of 806 mCi of 131I are described. A serious bone marrow depression developed and was treated successfully. The haematological changes during the early and late phases of the radiation injury were studied in detail and compared with those after external irradiation. The haematological events after internal irradiation with 131I are characterised by initial neutrophilic leukocytosis, protracted lymphopenia, slowly developing anaemia reaching lowest values about 3 months after administration, erythroid hyperplasia in the bone marrow after recovery from bone marrow depression and prominent cytological features of the bone marrow, especially pronounced erythropoietic polyploidy.
