High-dose-rate brachytherapy for high-grade vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia: a dosimetric analysis.

Conclusions: Patients with VAIN3 seemed to benefit from BT. It is generally assumed that the vagina is radio-resistant, and no constraints have yet been set, but sexual dysfunction after BT is an important cause of long-term distress. Finding applicable dose limits to the vagina could improve patients' quality of life. PMID: 31139223 [PubMed]
