Comparison of iso-effective and cost-effective high-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment schedules in cervical cancer - regional cancer center experience.

Conclusions: ICBT treatment with 9 Gy in two fractions offers equivocal local control rates and survival rates in cancer cervix cases with many advantages of short overall treatment time, improved patient compliance, cost effectiveness, and reduced exposure to aesthetic agents. The toxicities observed were few, low grade, and easily manageable. PMID: 31749851 [PubMed]
