Abstract
HDR-BT yields similar results to low dose rate in treatment of patients with LATC, with better results than those reported with exclusive EBRT. HDR-BT allows to increase the local dose, with good LC rates. In patients with large tumors requiring very mutilating surgery and patients who refuse surgery, EBRT with HDR-BT boost is a good option to increase the LC and cause-specific survival while keeping a better functional outcome.
