Implications of bladder volume on target coverage and dose to critical structures during high dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer: A dosimetric study

Conclusions: Smaller volume of bladder receive higher dose and larger volumes a lower dose with bladder distension, while dose is same for rectum, sigmoid and bowel. The applicators shift posteriorly when the bladder is distended.
