Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) has become a cornerstone in treating locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).
  • It allows for precise volumetric target definition and dose-volume histogram (DVH)-based planning.
  • IGABT aims to enhance pelvic tumor control while minimizing severe late toxicities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review contemporary evidence on IGABT for cervical, endometrial, and vaginal cancers.
  • To focus on local control, survival rates, late morbidity, and patient-reported outcomes.
  • To describe key target volume concepts and imaging-based planning modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase up to August 2024.
  • Utilized keywords including "cervical cancer", "brachytherapy", "image-guided", "MRI-guided", and "IGABT".
  • Included terms related to target volumes, planning, and outcomes like "locoregional control" and "toxicity".

Main Results:

  • Summarized evidence on IGABT for various gynecologic cancers, emphasizing outcomes.
  • Detailed target volume concepts (GTV, HR-CTV, IR-CTV).
  • Described the application of MRI-, CT-, and ultrasound-guided planning with different applicator types.

Conclusions:

  • IGABT has redefined the standard of care for LACC management.
  • Integration of volumetric concepts, DVH-based reporting, and advanced imaging allows dose escalation to residual tumors.
  • IGABT achieves high local control rates and reduced severe morbidity compared to historical 2D brachytherapy.
