Abstract

Abstract: For volumes up to 2 cm 3 of the bladder and possibly up to 5 cm 3 of the rectum, doses computed from the whole organ were good estimates of the doses in the wall in cervix brachytherapy, and there were no significant differences between patients treated with or without interstitial needles.
