Abstract

In locally advanced cervical cancer, brachytherapy is still widely based on conventional Point ‘A’ based planning. Image-based brachytherapy (IBBT) has been recently introduced and is gaining popularity. In our institute IBBT was introduced in a phased manner and was offered only to a limited group of patients due to limitation of resources. All other patients were treated by conventional Point ‘A’ based 2D planning. The purpose of this study is to compare novel 3D image-based intracavitary brachytherapy with conventional Point ‘A’ based intracavitary brachytherapy in cervical cancer in terms of dose volume parameters and to assess the early clinical benefits of 3D image-based brachytherapy by retrospective matching study.
