A new study finds that brachytherapy, a common procedure that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells, may continue safely, potentially without delay or antibiotics, in cervical cancer ...

Cervical cancer patients were treated with external beam radiotherapy, chemotherapy and image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) based on MRI or CT scans.

So, we need the combination of these three – chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy – to treat cervical cancer before we can achieve a cure.
