External Beam Radiation Therapy and Brachytherapy for Cervical Cancer: The Experience of the National Centre for Radiotherapy in Accra, Ghana

摘要

Purpose: Most women with cervical cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa present with locally advanced disease. These women require external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy for curative treatment, but data on their outcomes remain sparse. We report data on treatment characteristics, follow-up, toxicity, and cancer outcomes in a large population of patients from the National Centre for Radiotherapy in Accra, Ghana.
