A new study finds that brachytherapy, a common procedure that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells, may continue safely, potentially without delay or antibiotics, in cervical cancer patients ...

Barcelona, Spain: A rare but potentially serious complication following radiation treatment for cervical cancer is a narrowing of the tube (the ureter) that takes urine from the kidneys to the bladder ...

Brachytherapy is widely used, in combination with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), in the treatment of cervical cancer. It is unclear, however, whether high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is superior ...

This E-learning Module will focus on developing contouring skills for target volume and organs at risk for Conformal external beam radiotherapy planning for cancer of the cervix. The module has been ...

Cervical cancer is cervix cancer. The cervix is like the mouth of the womb when a woman is about to deliver, the area doctors measure is called the cervix. So the cancer that arises from that part of ...

To determine the use of brachytherapy in the USA, researchers assessed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and identified over 7,300 patients with cervical cancer who were ...
