✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

In definitive radiotherapy for cervical carcinoma, combined modality treatment using external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy is standard.

Although the optimal number of afterloading applications is controversial, the majority of authors recommend three applications.

METHODS.

In this study, the authors investigated the use of 4 applications with iridium-192 afterloading with a dose of 7.5 grays (Gy). Standardized radiotherapy doses were adapted to the individual tumor anatomy using a prospective schedule.
