A dosimetric comparison of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and High Dose Rate brachytherapy (HDR) in localized cervical cancer radiotherapy.

CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated that VMAT plan achieves significant dose reduction of rectum, bladder and sigmoid, as well as superior homogeneous target coverage compared to BT plan. On the other hand, VMAT delivers more radiation exposures to small bowel and femoral heads. PMID: 30958322 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
