Brachytherapy is widely used, in combination withexternal beam radiotherapy (EBRT), in the treatmentof cervical cancer. It is unclear, however,whether high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapyis superior to the more traditional low-dose-rate(LDR) approach in terms of tumor control andcomplication rate. Lertsanguansinchai and colleagueshave recently reported on a prospecti...
To compare the maximum high risk clinical target volume (CTVHR) dimensions and image quality between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and computed tomography (CT) in image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) of locally advanced cervical cancer. Material and methods Al...
Three-dimensional image-guided brachytherapy (3D-IGBT) has become the standard therapy for patients with cervical cancer. However, in this population, the impact of 3D-IGBT in elderly individuals remains unknown. This study assessed the efficacy of 3D-IGBT for elderly patients with cervical cancer....
Brachytherapy is an important method of treating cancer. It works by destroying cancer cells by targeting them with radiation and stopping them dividing and growing.
High-dose brachytherapy delivered in four fractions of 7 Gy conferred a higher rate of 5-year tumor control than two fractions of 9 Gy among patients with cervical cancer undergoing external beam radiotherapy, according to results of a pros...

Whether SBRT delivered via HT is a feasible alternative to brachytherapy in treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer in patients with unusual anatomic configurations of the uterus has never been studied. Case Presentation: A 46-year-old woman presented with an 8-month history of abnormal ...
This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of advanced radiotherapy techniques, including image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT), in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IVA cervical cancer patients with adjacent organ infiltration. Afurther aim was to identify ...
