Intra-cavitary brachytherapy in endometrial carcinoma: experience with cobalt-60 source.

Purpose: To report vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VCB) dosimetry parameters and clinical outcomes of patients with localized endometrial cancer treated with adjuvant high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy using a cobalt-60 (Co) source.

Material And Methods: Between 2011 and 2017, we identified patients with endometrial cancer treated with surgery and adjuvant VCB. Dosimetry variables analyzed included D, D, and D for organs at risk (OARs) and distance from cylinder surface to 150% and 200% isodose line in vaginal mucosa.

Assessing radiation dose for postoperative radiotherapy in prostate cancer: Real world data.

Background: Approximately 30% of patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa) who undergo radical prostatectomy will develop biochemical recurrence. In these patients, the only potentially curative treatment is postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) with or without hormone therapy. However, the optimal radiotherapy dose is unknown due to the limited data available.
