Abstract

Cervical cancer is the 3rd most common malignancy in the world. Despite national trends of declining utilization, brachytherapy plays an integral role in the curative management of all locally-advanced and medically inoperable early-stage cervical cancer. Herein we review the practice implementation of brachytherapy critical to curing patients of cervical cancer, especially modern image-based high-dose rate brachytherapy.
