Description

Image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) for cervical cancer improves pelvic control and survival across all stages. Improvement in pelvic control is larger in advanced stages, but improvement in survival is similar across stages. This paper analyzes the patterns of failure in the RetroEMBRACE cohort to investigate this discrepancy.
