Dosimetric divergence in ICBT vs. IC/ISBT configurations: Comparative analysis of three optimization algorithms for cervical cancer brachytherapy
Inverse optimization effectively reduces doses to OARs while maintaining target coverage. HIPO appears to be the preferred choice for IC/ISBT, due to shortened treatment time, superior CI and rectal protection compared with IPSA.
