Risk of Ureteral Stenosis after 3D MRI-Based Brachytherapy for Cervical Cancer

The use of image-guided 3D conformal brachytherapy for cervical cancer has led to improved tumor local control as a Result of the ability to dose-escalate. However, some critical organs, like the ureters, are hard to visualize in modern imaging, and these structures may be at risk of severe complications. Hence, we sought to report the rate of late grade ≥3 ureteral stenosis after 3D MRI-based brachytherapy for cervical cancer.
