Abstract: In radiotherapy for cervical cancer, because brachytherapy can provide concentrated dose to the primary tumor, midline block (central shielding) has been applied at least partially in external beam therapy to lower the dose to rectum… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract This study evaluated the feasibility of applying volumetric-arc radiotherapy (VMAT) in standard curative radiotherapy for non-bulky cervical cancer using the central-shielding principle. Whole-pelvis irradiation of 20 Gy and central-shielding pelvis irradiation of 30 Gy,… read more here.
