For a patient with cervical cancer s/p chemoRT, would you consider brachytherapy to downstage tumor to allow for hysterectomy rather than pelvic exenteration?

I am not clear as have not encountered this situation. I would complete chemo RT including brachy to definitive dose and reserve surgery as salvage if there is persistent disease 12-16 weeks after treatment.
