High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is integral to the standard-of-care for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Currently, selection of brachytherapy applicators relies on physician's clinical experience, which can lead to variability in treatmen...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between vaginal radiation dose and radiation-induced vaginal injury in cervical cancer patients, with the aim of developing a risk prediction model to support personalized treatment strategies.
