Long term experience with 3D image guided brachytherapy and clinical outcome in cervical cancer patients

Although the majority of the patients presented with locally advanced carcinoma, excellent local and regional control rates were achieved. Rectal, urinary, sigmoid and vaginal grade 3-4 morbidity was 5%, 6%, 2% and 5%, respectively. A correlation between rectal D2 cm3 >65 Gy and grade >3 late morbidity was found (p = 0.006).
