ABSTRACT
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in females in developing countries.Radiation therapy plays a major role in the treatment of early and advanced stages.Concurrent chemoradiation has improved treatment outcome in locally advanced cervicalcancer. The implementation of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and imageguidedbrachytherapy (IGBT) is waiting to be proved.Chiang Mai Medical Journal2009;48(4):125-133.
