Imaging Strategies for Definitive Intracavitary Brachytherapy of Cervical Cancer - Recommendation Report

Guideline Objective

These recommendations suggest various imaging strategies for the definitive treatment of cervical cancer utilizing intracavitary brachytherapy. In this document, best practice recommendations will be outlined, discussing the roles of various imaging modalities and stratifying them in terms of clinical evidence for cervix brachytherapy. The necessary resources required to implement each strategy successfully will be documented. In doing so, these recommendations provide a long-term direction for image guided brachytherapy (IGBT) of cervical cancer in the province of Ontario.
