Concomitant chemoradiotherapy, brachytherapy, and parametrial boost versus concomitant chemoradiation and brachytherapy alone in locally advanced cervical carcinoma: A prospective and comparative study

Concomitant chemoradiotherapy, brachytherapy, and parametrial boost versus concomitant chemoradiation and brachytherapy alone in locally advanced cervical carcinoma: A prospective and comparative study

Background: The inherent property of brachytherapy is its steep dose gradient and parametrium, near the pelvic wall, which gets little contribution in dose from brachytherapy.
