CT-planned BT resulted in excellent local control and survival. Large tumor size was associated with an increased risk of recurrence outside the radiation field and worse PFS and OS. A volume-optimized plan treated a smaller area than a point A standard plan for patients with Stage I-II cervical cancer that have received chemoradiation. Given the outstanding LC achieved with modern therapy including chemoradiation, HDR, and image-based BT, further efforts to combat spread outside the radiation field with novel therapies are warranted.
