Abstract

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women in the world, and the 9th overall. External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with concurrent cisplatin followed by brachytherapy forms the standard of care for advanced cervical carcinoma. High dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) for cervical cancer is now well established because of its numerous advantages. This study aimed to assess and compare the local control and toxicities between HDR ICBT with 7.5 Gy per fraction in three fractions (Control Arm) and 9 Gy per fraction in two fractions (Study Arm) after EBRT in treatment of carcinoma cervix.
