Clinical and dosimetric correlation in terms of treatment response, bladder and rectal toxicities in cervical cancer patients treated with cobalt 60 high dose rate brachytherapy.

Background: High dose rate (HDR) image-guided brachytherapy with Cobalt-60 isotope is a relatively recent approach. The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical and dosimetric parameters in terms of tumour response, bladder, and rectal toxicity in patients undergoing Co-60 HDR brachytherapy.

Materials And Method: All patients were initially treated with chemoradiation (CT-RT) at our center or other referral centers with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for a dose of 45 Gy-60 Gy at 1.
