Abstract
For tumors with <5Â mm height, prescribing to tumor apex enabled to decrease dose to all sensitive structures without any loss of local control. Although dose rate was lowered to 50.6Â cGy/h from the American Brachytherapy Society guidelines (60-105Â cGy/h) because of limited availability of operating room (i.e., weekly), there was no difference in either local tumor control or complications.
