Abstract

Definitive treatment for locally-advanced cervical cancer includes external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with concurrent cisplatin and brachytherapy. Image-guided intracavitary brachytherapy utilizes CT and/or MRI for target and organ at risk delineation and has been shown to improve local control rates and decrease toxicity. Hybrid intracavitary/interstitial applicators can be used to improve tumor coverage for bulky residual tumors after EBRT. We describe the use of combined intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy to treat a patient with cervical cancer with a bicornuate uterus.
