Abstract
Cervical and endometrial cancer of the uterus, and ovarian cancer are three major malignant diseases in gynecology in Japan, these Diagnosis and therapy are almost established. In uterine cervical cancer, radiation therapy and surgery of these diseases are two main treat-ment methods, and both treatment results are almost the same. And radiation therapy is also used as postoperative treatment to patients with high risk factors.
In endometrial cancer, surgery is main therapy. Radiation therapy is undergone only to medically inoperable Cases Preoperative radiation is widely carried out in Europe and America, but almost none in Japan. Postoperative irradation is adapted to the cases with high risk factors. But recent advance of chemotherapy changes the importance of radiation therapy in such patients.
I review the literatures of radiation therapy of uterine cervical cancer and of endometrial cancer.
