We do sequential without any break after EBRT

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.
