Clinical and Dosimetric Analysis of Ureteral Toxicity in Patients Treated with Combined Chemoradiation and High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy for Cervical and Endometrial Cancer
In patients with locally advanced cervical and endometrial cancer treated with combination chemotherapy, external beam radiation (EBRT) and brachytherapy, ureteral strictures are a rare though potentially severe toxicity. Dosimetric constraints have yet to be defined for these adjacent organs at risk.
