Magnetic resonance image-based 3D volume interstitial brachytherapy using polyether ether ketone catheters in advanced cervical cancer - a feasibility study.

Conclusions: When the facilities for MR-compatible applicators are not available, MR-based ISBT is feasible with PEEK catheters using available resources for advanced cervical cancer. Doses to HR-CTV and IR-CTV were achieved, restricting doses to OARs as per GEC-ESTRO guidelines. PMID: 31523230 [PubMed]
