How do you sequence vaginal cuff brachytherapy with EBRT for post-op endometrial or cervical cases that require both modalities?
Sequentially or do you integrate the cuff brachy with the EBRT and if so what schedule, BIW, weekly, etc?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
If providing therapy in the adjuvant setting, no recurrence at cuff, women will thank you by sequencing brachytherapy first followed by EBRT without break.

I typically perform the brachytherapy after completing the external and I deliver it on a twice weekly basis. I prefer to start the pelvic RT first as, theoretically, that is when you would have the least tumor burden in the pelvis.
We do sequentially but within one week.
