Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the outcomes of women with vaginal recurrences of endometrial cancer who underwent reirradiation, specifically using image-guided interstitial high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy after previous treatments.
- Twenty-three women were analyzed, revealing a median time of 13.7 months since their initial radiation therapy, with various outcomes including an overall survival rate of 56% and local control rate of 87%.
- The findings suggest that while the reirradiation technique has a good local control rate and manageable toxicity, distant recurrences remain a significant challenge, indicating further research is necessary to optimize treatment strategies.
