Use of 3D planning of HDR brachytherapy in patients with cervical cancer

Background. Combined radiation therapy is the «gold standard» for treatment of stages IIB-IVA cervical cancer (cervical cancer). Given data statistical indicators cancer, study new approaches to and implementation in clinical practice modern technologies widespread an extremely important area.
 Purpose – evaluate benefits using CT topometric preparation planning brachytherapy cancer.
 Materials Methods. 3D 24 patients with locally advanced (FIGO IIIB stage), who underwent a radical program combined (remote chemical modification cisplatin followed by HDR-brachytherapy (High dose rate brachytherapy)).
 Results. The paper presents results analysis differences according orthogonal images images. influence constitutional features revealed that there are topographic anatomy pelvis depending on surface area body. In body up 1,65 m2 , more intimate fit intestine target volume irradiation was noted. No similar difficulties were found above .
 Conclusions. use intracavitary provides precision simultaneously visualizing irradiated volumes spatial relationships anatomical structures pelvis, introduced endostats corresponding volumetric distributions.
