Vaginal cuff brachytherapy: do we need to treat to more than a two-centimeter active length?

摘要

American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) guidelines recommend using a 3-5 cm active length (AL) when treating vaginal cuff (VC) in adjuvant setting of endometrial cancer (EC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate local control and toxicity, using an AL of 1 or 2 cm and immobilization with a traditional table-mounted (stand) or patient-mounted (suspenders) device.
