Implementation of High Dose-rate Brachytherapy for Cervix Cancer in a Low-income Country

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to detail the implementation of HDR brachytherapy at the only radiotherapy center in Nicaragua. METHODS: Patients are treated with external-beam radiotherapy to 46–50Gy at 2Gy/fraction to the pelvis. A gynecologic examination is performed weekly. Once the cer...
