Dosimetric Analysis and Effect of Different Definitions of Prescription Point “A” to OAR in High Dose Rate Brachytherapy for Cervical Cancer

Abstract: Purpose: Dosimetric analysis and effect of different definitions of prescription point “A” to OAR in high dose rate brachytherapy for cervical cancer. Methods and Materials: This retrospective comparative dosimetric study is based on the data of 25 patients with histologically proven cervical carcinoma treated with HDR (high-dose-rate) brachytherapy. Patients received 21 Gy in three fractions (7.0 Gy X three fractions) to point A (AMAN, revised Manchester definition). Further, the patients were replanned with … Show more

“…The commercially available bolus: Super flab (it is a thick bolus and doesn't undergo elastic deformation. It is made of synthetic oil gel), Super stuff (it is prepared by adding water to a powder to get a pliable gelatin like material), and Bolx sheets (gel enclosed in plastic sheet) (Agrawal et al, 2022;Apipunyasopon et al, 2020;Kapoor et al, 2020;Mehta et al, 2022).…”

“…Brachytherapy offers the advantage of increased dose delivery to the tumour with rapid dose falloff, which protects the organs in close proximity from radiation. Inclusion of brachytherapy increases disease-free survival and reduces local recurrence (Han et al, 2013;Agrawal et al, 2022;Mehta et al, 2022;Meena et al, 2023).…”
