A significant advance in this area is the injection of radium into the tumor using needles. The prerequisite for this therapy is the exact definition of the tumor borders, which in uterine and parametric cancers is achieved by transosection; this creates a kind of special kind of surgery, which aims to create access for the application of radium. Since the duration of cell division in cancer is up to 15-20 days, it is necessary to lengthen the radium application time considerably.
