Outcomes after definitive re-irradiation with 3D brachytherapy with or without external beam radiation therapy for vaginal recurrence of endometrial cancer.

CONCLUSION: Re-irradiation with 3D conformal brachytherapy for vaginal recurrence is feasible and safe as long as cumulative dose to surrounding normal organs is limited, and offers a chance to potentially salvage 40% of patients presenting with vaginal recurrence in the setting of prior pelvic radiation.
