A case report on radiotherapy in choriocarcinoma: a life saving procedure.

Abstract
Radiation therapy was tried to control hemorrhage from uterine cavity in a case of choriocarcinoma in which surgery was not practically possible due to the presence of a large nodule extending from suburethral region up to anterior fornix involving the entire anterior vaginal wall and patient being in a very critical condition. Radiotherapy was found to be successful and life saving.
