The Relationship Between Late Morbidity and Dose –Volume Parameter of Rectum in Combined Intracavitary/Interstitial Cervix Cancer Brachytherapy: A Mono-Institutional Experience

ConclusionOur study proved that D1cm3 andD0.1cm3were considered as useful dosimetric parameters for predicting the risk of grade1–4 and grade2–4 LRC at 1-year, and D1cm3might be an indicator for predicting grade2-4 LRC at 3/5years. The patients with rectal D1cm3>66.37–74.18 GyEQD2 should be closely observed for grade2–4 LRC.
