Can reduction of uncertainties in cervix cancer brachytherapy potentially improve clinical outcome?

CONCLUSION: TCP is robust to dosimetric uncertainties when dose prescription is in the more flat region of the dose-response curve at doses >75Gy. For OARs, improved clinical outcome is expected by reduction of uncertainties via sophisticated dose delivery and treatment verification. PMID: 27452410 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
