IMRT and image-guided adapted brachytherapy for cervix cancer

IMRT and 3D image-guided adapted brachytherapy (3D-IGABT) is increasingly used for definitive cervical cancer treatment. We compared patterns of failure and survival to patients treated with 2D external beam radiation and brachytherapy, with all patients receiving a pre-treatment PET and all surviving patients having 5 years minimum follow up. IMRT and 3D-IGABT was associated with higher survival and reduced late bowel and bladder toxicities.
