Rectal wall dose-volume effect of pre- or post KUSHEN Ningjiaos relationship with 3D brachytherapy in cervical cancer patients

摘要

BackgroundThe present prospective study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the rectum following KUSHEN Ningjiaos in cervical cancer. We compared rectal wall changes during brachytherapy with or without KUSHEN Ningjiaos in cervical cancer patients and analyzed the difference in spatial dose distribution, including whole rectum-wall (R-w), anterior rectum-wall (R-a) and posterior rectum-wall (R-p).
