Education and training for image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for cervix cancer —The (GEC)-ESTRO/EMBRACE perspective

Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) has been shown to improve local/regional control and survival for cervix cancer patients while reducing morbidity. However, the technique is complex involving several conceptual, methodological, and technical innovations compared to conventional brachytherapy. The delivery of high-quality IGABT which will translate into improved outcomes is therefore critically dependent on effective education and training of all health professionals involved in the brachytherapy treatment process.
