PURPOSETo evaluate the clinical outcomes in patients with cervical cancer with limited residual disease at brachytherapy (BT) treated with point-based dose prescription.METHODSPatients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix treated with computed tomography (CT)-based intracavitary BT were considered for analysis. Patients with good response to external beam radiotherapy and limited residual disease suitable for intracavitary BT alone were included. Postapplication CT scans were performed before each fraction and individual plans were made for each session. The dose per fraction was 9Gy high dose rate, prescribed to point-A. Two sessions were planned, 1 week apart. The organs at risk were contoured, and cumulative dose-volume histograms were computed. Local control, pelvic control, disease-free survival, and overall survival were evaluated and late toxicities were documented.RESULTSFour hundred ninety patients were included. Overall, 79.8% had International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB2 to IIB disease and 20.2% had stage III to IVA disease. Median dose at point A (EQD210Gy) was 74.4 Gy (interquartile range [IQR] 72.3-74.5 Gy) and median D2cc (EQD23Gy) for bladder, rectum, and sigmoid were 82.5 Gy (IQR, 65.5-90.8 Gy), 66.5 Gy (IQR, 60.7-75.7 Gy), and 54.1 Gy (IQR, 50.5-77.3 Gy), respectively. At a median follow-up of 62 (IQR, 33-87) months, the 5-year local and pelvic control rates were 90.1% and 88.3%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival was 80% and overall survival was 88%. Rates of grade 3-4 bladder and rectosigmoid toxicities were 6.93% and 4.08%, respectively.CONCLUSIONIn patients with limited residual disease at BT, point-based dose prescription with CT planning results in good local control and acceptable toxicity. In a resource-constrained setting, patients may be triaged to receive point-based BT or magnetic resonance imaging–guided adaptive BT depending on the extent of residual disease.
