Identify the key anatomic structures relevant to cervical cancer radiation treatment contouring. Understand the purpose of target delineation and identifying the organs at risk. Understand the ...

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

Neither intracavitary nor interstitial brachytherapy increases the risk for ureteral stricture in locally advanced cervical cancer, except in the setting of hydronephrosis.

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 ...

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

Cervical cancer is a diagnosis no woman wants to receive, and navigating the disease can be challenging. A type of cancer that starts in the cells of the cervix, this cancer usually develops slowly.

Radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cervical cancer cells. External radiotherapy alongside chemotherapy (chemoradiotherapy) is one of the main treatments for cervical cancer. This may be ...

This E-learning Module will focus on developing contouring skills for target volume and organs at risk for Conformal external beam radiotherapy planning for cancer of the cervix. The module has been ...

According to the hospital, this can be a more effective treatment path for patients who have cervical cancer. It plans to use Iridium-192 as the radioactive source during brachytherapy.
