Assessment of the anatomical position of point B and the relationship between point B dose and the dose delivered to pelvic lymph nodes in CT-based high-dose-rate brachytherapy for uterine cervical cancer.
Conclusions: We investigated the anatomical location of point B in patients with cervical cancer who underwent brachytherapy, and the DVH analysis revealed that the point B dose was a poor surrogate for the dose delivered to the pelvic lymph nodes.
