High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for the treatment of high-volume locally recurrent endometrial carcinoma

High-dose-rate IBT is an effective treatment for locally recurrent endometrial carcinoma with an acceptable toxicity profile. Outcomes are similar between previously irradiated and nonirradiated patients. In women who have received prior radiotherapy and are often considered for palliative treatment, interstitial brachytherapy is a potentially curative option.
