This report concerns our experience with the clinical management of pyometra in 12 patients receiving radiation therapy at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for uterine epithelial malignancy. The effect of pyometra on radiation therapy is discussed. Adequate drainage is imperative, and appropriate cultures should be obtained. External radiation therapy may be continued as planned; however, intracavitary radium applications should be deferred.
