Bi-plane trans-rectal ultrasound (BTRUS) guided prostate perineal template based high dose rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRIBT) for vaginal vault recurrence
PPTG based BTRUS-HDRIBT for VVR allows real time tumor visualization for optimal applicator insertion to deliver highly conformal tumoricidal dose and maximize LC rate. Radiation oncologists dealing with prostate HDRIBT already possess this skill and this "dying art" can be readily transferable to female genital tract tumors.
