A range of standard dose-fractionation schedules for high dose rate (HDR) vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VBT) following hysterectomy is recommended by published guidelines including 3, 4, 5 and 6 fraction (Fx) regimens with prescription varying from the surface to a depth of 5 mm. Currently, there are no dose constraints for organs at risk (OARs) in VBT. Given the presumed relatively low OAR doses, these OAR doses are simply recorded with minimal to no dosimetric adjustment during treatment planning.
