Assessment of rectal dose with thermoluminescent in vivo dosimetry in high-dose-rate cobalt-60 intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer: A two-arm cohort study using orthogonal images planning
For patients transferred from a brachytherapy couch to a hospital stretcher during applicator insertion and dose delivery, first fraction-based planning is feasible. However, caution is needed to minimize applicator shifts, as these changes can alter the geometric position between fractions.
