A knowledge-based organ dose prediction tool for brachytherapy treatment planning of patients with cervical cancer

The purpose of this study is to explore knowledge-based organ-at-risk dose estimation for intracavitary brachytherapy planning for cervical cancer. Using established external-beam knowledge-based dose-volume histogram (DVH) estimation methods, we sought to predict bladder, rectum, and sigmoid D2cc for tandem and ovoid treatments.
