Optimization of Dose Distribution in Intracavitary Treatment of Cervical Cancer with Buchler's Afterloading System

Hitoshi Ogata, Guio Uchiyama, Hiroshi Ohnishi

Abstract

We evaluated dose optimization for the treatment of cervical cancer using Buchler's high-dose-rate (HDR) remote-control-afterloading-system (RALS). When Buchler's system is used for intracavitary treatment, the irradiation times for the tandem and ovoid sources should be selected separately. The effects of variation of the tandem-to-ovoid dose ratio on the dose distribution are described.
