Oxford University Hospital Experience of Contribution of Image Guided Adaptive Brachytherapy Dose to Pelvic Lymph Nodes in Locally Advanced Node Positive Cervical Cancer

Locally advanced cervical cancer is treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with concomitant cisplatin chemotherapy followed by high dose rate (HDR) image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT). Modern radiotherapy techniques allow dose escalation to involved pelvic lymph nodes during EBRT. The aim of this project was to evaluate the contribution of IGABT to the nodal volumes and assess this against our current nodal prescriptions.
