Oxygenation predicts radiation response and survival in patients with cervix cancer
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypoxia appears to be an important factor in predicting tumor relapse following radiation therapy. This study measured oxygenation prior to treatment in patients with cervix cancer using a polarographic oxygen electrode to determine if oxygenation was an important prognostic factor with regard to tumor control and survival.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between May 1994 and June 1997, 74 eligible patients with cervix cancer …
