Feasibility of outpatient hybrid brachytherapy for cervical cancer with minimal sedation: Results from a single-institutional protocol

CONCLUSIONS: In our series, the treatment of HBT for cervical cancer with minimal sedation was feasible at a high percentage (96.8%). The ability to perform HBT without GA or CS could be a reasonable option to provide image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) with limited resources, allowing for more widespread use. Further investigations using this technique are warranted.PMID:36970442 | PMC:PMC10034729 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.125527
