Direction Modulated Brachytherapy for Treatment of Cervical Cancer. II: Comparative Planning Study With Intracavitary and Intracavitary-Interstitial Techniques

Integrating the novel DMBT tandem onto both intracavitary and intracavitary-interstitial applicator assembly enabled consistent improvement in the sparing of the OARs, over a standard “single-channel” tandem, though individual variations in benefit were considerable. Although at an early stage of development, the DMBT concept design is demonstrated to be useful and pragmatic for potential clinical translation.
