Abstract:BackgroundComplex intracavity and interstitial (IC/IS) applicators, such as the Venezia applicator, can improve the HR‐CTV coverage while adequately protecting organs at risk in the treatment of cervical cancer with high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Although the Venezia applicator offers more choice for catheter selection, commercially available catheter and dose optimization algorithms are still missing for complex applicators. Moreover, studies on catheter and dose optimization for IC/IS implants in the tr… Show more
