How do you define and IR-CTV for cervical brachytherapy?

Do you use a trimmed 10 mm expansion on HR-CTV? Do you also include the entire initial extent of disease? How much does your IR-CTV coverage affect your desired dose distribution (if at all)?

Since most outcome data based on HRCTV dose , I don't routinely contour or monitor dose to IRCTV for cervical cancer
