Purpose: To record and report dosimetric and clinical outcomes of interstitial brachytherapy using cobalt-60 (Co) source in cervical cancer.
Material And Methods: Seventy patients who underwent external beam radiotherapy with dose of 45 Gy in 25 fractions, followed by interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) 6.5 Gy × 4 fractions were included into this study.
Purpose: This is a study of our experience with Co-60 high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR BT) from a tertiary care center.
Materials And Methods: One thousand patients were treated with Cobalt-based HDR BT for more than 6 years. The practice of BT was analyzed for clinical outcome, physical, radiobiological, and technical aspects.
Purpose: To compare the cervical cancer treatment outcome and toxicities between two different institutions.
Material And Methods: We analysed the clinical outcome of cervical cancer patients treated at two different centres from January 2015 to December 2016. Centre A treated 72 patients by external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to a dose of 45 Gy in 25 fractions followed by intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) 6.
Purpose: To observe the effect of different high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy dose schedules on equieffective dose in 2 Gy per fraction (EQD).
Material And Methods: It is a retrospective study involving 50 cervical cancer patients, who received external radiotherapy of 45 Gy in 25 fractions and underwent intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT). Computed tomography (CT) simulation was done after insertion of the applicators.
