Results of combined treatment of 113 patients with colon carcinoma receiving a single irradiation (7.5 Gy) before the operation were analysed. The single irradiation was well tolerated by all the patients without complications during the operation and in the postoperative period. It is found at the ultrastructural level that from 70 to 85% of the cells in the tumors removed were irreversibly damaged.
