Comparison of dosimetric analysis of organs at risk and target volumes for ovoids and cylinders in endometrial carcinoma

CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that the dose to organs at risk, most of the dosimetric parameters of CTV, and vault were comparable between the cylinder and ovoid plans. Both applicators provide good reproducibility. The choice of applicator will ultimately depend on the institutional policies and oncologist decision. However, in patients with dog-ear configuration of the vagina, ovoids may be preferred as per ABS guidelines.PMID:38230405 | PMC:PMC10789155 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2023.134171
