Research progress on the combined application of brachytherapy and IMRT for the treatment of cervical cancer / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Brachytherapy is a key part of radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Along with the persistent development of radiotherapy techniques, the combined application of brachytherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) has been proposed by scholars for cervical cancer patients presenting with large residual tumors accompanied by parametrial infiltration after IMRT. In this article, recent research progress on IMRT combined with brachytherapy applied in the treatment of cervical cancer was reviewed.
