Dosimetric comparison between brachytherapy and MR-Linac as a boost modality for locally advanced cervical cancer

This retrospective study demonstrates that with an MRL boost plan, in some situations it is possible to achieve established planning constraints. However, as rectum doses are higher and dose distributions are fundamentally different, BT remains the modality of choice. Clinical trials are necessary to investigate the influence of the MRL dose distribution on oncological outcomes.

Abstract

This retrospective study demonstrates that with an MRL boost plan, in some situations it is possible to achieve established planning constraints. However, as rectum doses are higher and dose distributions are fundamentally different, BT remains the modality of choice. Clinical trials are necessary to investigate the influence of the MRL dose distribution on oncological outcomes.
