Radiobiological optimization comparison between pulse-dose-rate and high-dose-rate brachytherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer

Only scarce data are available on the possibility to include radiobiological optimization as part of the dosimetric process in cervical cancer treated with brachytherapy (BT). We compared dosimetric outcomes of pulse-dose-rate (PDR) and high-dose-rate (HDR)-BT, according to linear-quadratic model.
