Impact of vaginal cylinder diameter on outcomes following brachytherapy for early stage endometrial cancer

Abstract: ObjectiveTo examine the outcomes (tolerability, toxicity, and recurrence) of vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) among endometrial cancer (EC) patients treated with small cylinder size.MethodsPatients with EC who received adjuvant VBT between September 2011 and December 2015 were reviewed. Patients were fitted with the largest vaginal cylinder they could comfortably accommodate, from 2.0–3.0 cm diameter. Small cylinders were defined as size 2.3 cm or less. Patient, tumor, or treatment characteristics were correlated w… Show more

“…Different hypofractionated regimens for the treatment of low/intermediate-risk endometrial cancer have been reported in the literature [9,10,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,31,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56]. The most commonly described hypofractionated course consists of a total dose of 21 Gy delivered in three fractions two/three times per week, with very good local control and acceptable acute and late toxicities.…”

“…The local control rate is variable reported with a wide range from 87% Landrum et al . [37] to 93-100% [6,15,23,26,27]. The main factors that may influence local control consist of total dose prescription, doses for fractions, overall treatment time, depth of myometrium invasion, histological type, grading, and lymph vascular infiltration [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13].…”
