. Cervical blood flow was measured by the local hydrogen gas clearance method in 15 patients with untreated carcinoma of the uterine cervix and in 16 patients six to eight weeks after radium irradiation. Mean cervical blood flow was 75.5 ml/min. 100 g in the untreated group and 92.4 ml/min. 100 g in the treated group.
